Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1181 Breaking Another City

Dashicheng is also one of the more than [-] big cities in Kucha. It is not small. It is only compared with the city of Bahuan in the south. This city has a population of several thousand, and there are many villages and small towns around it. The city of the oasis.

The bandits near the city had gone to chase the cavalry battalion, and more than a thousand soldiers and villagers left. In the end, about five hundred people remained in Dashicheng, and many of them were wounded soldiers.

In addition, the more than 2000 Kucha captives captured are still in the city for the time being.

Zhang Shigui, the acting county magistrate, took office and did three things, control the city gate, control the yamen, and control the treasury.

"Master Xu, what do you think we are going to do next?" Zhang Shigui used to be a general's son after all, and after the rebellion at the end of the Sui Dynasty and returned to the Tang Dynasty, he also served as the governor of the state, and even appointed the Duke of the state as a general. There is nothing wrong with a small city.

However, he was very willing to see Xu Xiucai's reaction. During the previous war, Xu Xiucai told him that he had passed the imperial examination but failed to win the imperial examination. Only then did he know that this young man from Uncle Xu's family was not simple.

After all, Xu Xiucai also participated in the imperial examination, and passed the county and county examinations.Daqin's imperial examination required excellent performance in all aspects, so before he took the exam, he had already studied the procedures of some officials in judging cases and other related yamen officials.

Tried to calm down.

"Reporting to the county magistrate Zhang Dai, the students think that the most important thing right now is to appease the hearts of the people in the city. They should send someone to explain the situation and tell them that the reason why the Great Qin sent troops this time was because Prince Qiuci robbed the trade roads and slaughtered the caravans. He is a well-known teacher. Then, when Yan Ming In terms of military discipline, to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos and looting, we must send people to patrol the streets, not only to prohibit our people from violating discipline, but also to prevent people from causing damage in the city."

Zhang Shigui nodded, "What else?"

"When inviting noble officials in the city and some wealthy businessmen to come to the yamen to discuss matters, it is called discussing matters, but in fact they can be temporarily held as hostages so that their families do not dare to mess around."

The scouting battalion boy who was acting as the county lieutenant didn't care much and said, "Why is it so troublesome, we don't really want to control this city for a long time, it's just for a while."

Zhang Shigui smiled and said, "Commander Xu is still chasing the enemy. It is very necessary for us to take this city now. Guarding this city can not only house the wounded soldiers, treat them in time, but also detain the prisoners. In addition, if we guard the city well, then In case the command of Xu on the front line fails, he can also retreat into the city, in this way, he can attack and defend, and he will be invincible."

"Lieutenant Liu Dai, you are a child of the patrolling battalion. I want to send someone to take 300 scouting battalion scouts, plus [-] children of the city's aristocratic officials, big households, and wealthy merchants, to go out of Boda Ridge and head to Dunduo City for temporary garrison. So there." Xu Xiucai said again.

"Dunduo City is just an empty city, why guard it?"

"Although Dundo City is an empty city, it is very dangerous, especially because it can communicate with the northern line of the Silk Road. Right now we are making a fuss with the people of Kucha here, and no one knows what will happen next. , We are very dangerous, so defending Dunduo City is to have an extra escape route, from which we can retreat to the northern line at critical times, or even wait for reinforcements to come from the northern line."

"That's right. Well, I'll take people there. But I'll take 200 people. There aren't many people here. Can you do it?"

"Don't worry, if you leave with three hundred children from the city, it's equivalent to taking their hostages, and I'm here, according to Master Xu's method, to invite the heads of those noble families to come, forgive them and don't dare to mess around. "Zhang Shigui admired Xu Xiucai's plan very much, and he had exactly the same intention.

After the Qin army entered the city, they did not rob or rob.

And help maintain military discipline.

The people of Kucha finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the Qin army first let the nobles in the city go to the yamen to discuss matters, and then let them stay as a temporary deduction, and then let the children of each family go to station in Dunduo City with the Qin people, But after all, the Qin people had a good attitude and didn't kill anyone, so the city finally cooperated.

Lao Xu hung a Qin flag on Dashicheng.

This is the flag carried by the caravan. Almost every Qin merchant will carry a Qin flag on his body. At critical times, showing the Qin flag is sometimes very useful. He didn't expect that this Qin flag is now hung on Dashicheng , and his son became the acting county master.

Monk Xu led the cavalry battalion to continue to pursue, and the Tibetans and most of the children and villagers in the city also continued to pursue.

Jie Liedian has been chased to the sky and has nowhere to go.

Seeing that Bahuan City is just ahead, but at this time there are less than three hundred horses left by his side.

There were more than 1 people, and in the end there were only more than 300 people who came back.

Want to step up and rush into the city.

But seeing that there was only less than two miles to go, Qin Jun still blocked the way.

Xiao Yanwang led a team of brothers to intercept him.

Qin Qi caught up behind them and surrounded them. After shooting with bows and arrows, Jie Liedian only had more than a hundred riders left, and he himself was shot by several arrows. Although he had armor blocking his vital points, he was extremely embarrassed .

He looked at the city and changed the city, but no one came out of the city to rescue him.

The desperate Jie Liedian had to dismount.

Kneel down please surrender!

"Please surrender!"

More than a hundred Kucha soldiers shouted in unison, "Please surrender!"

Xu Heshang stepped forward immediately.

Chasing all the way, running covered in dust and dripping with sweat.

But now seeing Jie Lie Dian kneeling down, it is really very comfortable, all fatigue is swept away.

"Jie Liedian, you were originally a Western Turkic Khan who was ordered to be stationed in Tutun in Kucha, and then followed the King of Kucha to my Daqin. Why do you still carry Qin?"

Jie Liedian's heart was on fire, it was obvious that you Qin people were deceiving others too much, but now you dare not say this, and just knelt down and pleaded guilty.

"Okay, now I'll give you a chance to make amends. If you let Bachang City open the city gate and surrender, I will count it as your atonement."

Jie Liedian gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do.

In the end, he took off his armor, was escorted by Qin Qi to the city of Bahuan, and persuaded the city to surrender.

Bahuan City is very large. This is the second largest city in Kucha. It used to be the capital of Gumo Country, the 36th country on Tianshan South Road. In recent years, the Silk Road has revived. The commerce and trade here are prosperous, and a large number of merchants gather here, which makes the city extremely prosperous.

Before, there were even tens of thousands of people stationed in and around the city.

But now, Jie Liedian and the ten thousand troops were wiped out, and the Qin army approached the city, and Jie Liedian personally persuaded him to surrender.

There was fear in the city.

Monk Xu asked the Chengbang Fanzi and their children who came to form an army under the city, pretending to attack the city.

"If we really want to defend the city, we won't be able to attack it."

"I know, give it a try and give it a try. If the city is changed and refuses to surrender, there is no loss. We will pass by and go back to Kubera City. If they open the city, it will be a waste of picking up a big city."

Monk Xu also knew that after this battle, the relationship with Qiuci would definitely not be good. Whether the future will be a war or not is unknown, and it is not up to him to decide, but now, if he can hold more cities , especially if it is a big city like Bachang City, then there will be more bargaining chips in the next negotiation.

"The gates are open, open."

Sure enough, the gate of Bahuan City opened slowly.

People in the city please surrender.

"It's really a bunch of soft bones." Xiao Yanwang looked at the descending Kucha people and cursed.

But Zhang Laosan, the chief of the fire, said, "The soft bones are good. This change of the city has become our military exploit again. This time it is amazing. We broke the Duodun city, captured Su Fabu, the prince of Kucha, and defeated the general of Kucha again." Jie Lie Dian defeated more than ten thousand people, captured Jie Lie Dian alive, and now he is relegated to another city, after counting the credits, it is enough to be promoted to three levels in a row, right?"

Xiao Yanwang smiled lightly, "Be careful of being convicted of lightly provoking us by the superiors, and you will be demoted three levels in a row."

"Impossible, how can we still be punished after winning the battle? Our warriors in Daqin are not to be rubbed and rubbed. There are also warriors among the prime ministers in the court. They will definitely speak for us." The third child shouted.
