Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1186
The Silk Road is full of retreating people.

The postman at the post station, the Fengzi of Fengbao, the family members of Fengzi, the postman near Fengbao of the post station, and the villagers near the city, also evacuated together.

Take the family with the mouth, bring the old and the young, lead the cows and drive the horses.

Many of these people near the city were not originally from Kucha. Most of them came to join after the Great Qin took control of the Silk Road. The Qin people, they have rarely lived a stable life, especially after these people have entered the Qin nationality, they all call themselves Qin people.

Taxes are not high, but they have a stable home.

Now King Qiuci is coming to attack the Qin Army on the Silk Road, so everyone runs along with him.

In fact, it is a surprising fact that on the land of Kucha Kingdom, the Silk Road and the [-] miles along the road are all designated as joint management of Daqin and Kucha, but on the other hand, it is called joint management, but The Qin army has the right to garrison troops and the right to rule by law. Even the Tibetans within twenty miles have the right to choose whether to join the Daqin nationality or the Kucha nationality. They can choose freely.

If you join the Qin nationality, you are a Qin person, and you don't have to pay taxes to Qiuci and serve in the army.

To be honest, Daqin’s approach is actually a bit stinky, shameless and blatantly playing hooligans, but the countries in the Western Regions finally held their noses and recognized the signing oath. The key is that the Qin Army defeated the powerful Shekui Khan of the Western Turks and replaced the Turks became the suzerain of the Western Regions.

On the other hand, the Great Qin claimed to inherit all the legacy of the Great Han in the Western Regions, so it also claimed ownership of the Silk Road.

You know, after the Western Expedition and the defeat of the White Huns, the countries in the Western Regions were changed to belong to the Western Turks. Many countries in the Western Regions, but even the kings were changed, and the kings directly became the nobles of the Western Turks.

In comparison, the Great Qin canonized the various countries as the Great Qin princes and divided them into territory, only to pass through the control of the Silk Road section of each country, which is already very good in comparison.

Cheng Yaojin's public reason for wanting to destroy the Kingdom of Kucha this time is very simple, "The King of Kucha lost his courtesy!" In just six words, the king of Kucha is helpless if he loses his courtesy and will destroy the country.

On both sides of the Silk Road, the Gobi desert is interspersed with green oases.

"The Kucha people are here!"

"Guzi cavalry!"

someone exclaimed.

Sure enough, there was a puff of smoke rising from behind, and a group of Kucha cavalry arrived.It is said that it is the Kucha army, but it is actually the Turkic army.The King of Kucha was originally named Bai, but now the names are full of twists and turns, all because they are already Turkic. Several generations of the Bai family of the King of Kucha married Turks, and finally the Turkic nephew inherited the throne. In the name of the King of Kucha, in fact, it is no longer the descendants of the Bai family of Kucha. The King of Kucha, which has been passed down for thousands of years since the Western Han Dynasty, has also been replaced by Turks.

With the Turkic king, naturally the ministers and the army below were all Turkic.

"It's the Turkic scout Qingqi from Kucha. There are not many of them, that is, ten cavalry."

The Kucha army is dominated by Turkic people, and its establishment is mostly tens of millions.

A small team of ten has ten captains, and a large team of a hundred has centurion commanders.

Now this squad of ten cavalry is obviously the scout light cavalry who went forward.

"Old Xu, can you kill them?"

Xu Feng's rate was only that of a Fengbao, and there were no more than eight men under his command, and they were all infantry.

"Try it."

Fortunately, there are a lot of people here, besides the nine people who changed Fengbao, there are also more than a dozen people from Dashiyi, and there are many people from the city and their families who followed them. There must be 300 people in their group. people.

"Push the car over, form a circle, and put the boxes on top."

"Women and children stay inside, while young and strong men stay outside."

Xu Feng's leadership is at least a serious soldier of the Great Qin Dynasty. Even if it is an infantry soldier, his command is still very good. Under his command, everyone calmed down a lot.

"Hurry up and put on your armor!"

The Fengzi also have armor, although it is not as good as the armor of patrol cavalry, but it can prevent arrows after wearing it.

"Shield!"

"Bow and crossbow!"

Xu Feng led eight men, put on the armor on his back, fastened his helmet, tied his bow, and stood behind the chariot holding a shield.

Fanzi and children near the city held knives and bows.

Qiuci Qingqi came roaring, running in circles around the hastily circled car formation.

From time to time, an arrow is shot.

The women and children in the team couldn't help crying, while the men held their weapons tightly and stared at the Kucha people.

"Don't worry, wait for them to get closer, aim and shoot again."

Holding a crossbow in his hand, Xu Feng stood behind the car with a shield in front of him. He squinted his eyes and stared at the Turkic soldiers.

Another arrow shot.

A teenager with a horizontal knife was shot in the shoulder and fell to the ground with a scream.

There was a panic in the formation, Xu Feng led a glance, then continued to stare at Turkic Qingqi.

After several rounds of probing, the scout Qingqi finally couldn't bear it any longer, gathered together roaringly, and rushed over.

They want to be closer so they can shoot more accurately right away.

Seeing that a Turkic Qingqi had already drawn his bow, Xu Feng led finally buckled the crossbow trigger in his hand, and the short crossbow spikes shot out with a whoosh, and the Qingqi who had rushed nearly thirty steps was hit in the chest by an arrow, fell on his horse, and was shot by the horse. I ran to the other side with my back on my back.

The other eight Fengzi, as well as a group of Fanzi and disciples with bows, also shot arrows at this time.

Turkic Qingqi did not expect that this group of seemingly runaway old and weak people had so many bows.Because they were too close, four or five people were shot by arrows at once.

Seeing this, the rest hurriedly turned their horses around.

Xu Feng immediately pulled the string again, and when he reloaded the crossbow, the remaining scouts Qingqi had already turned around and ran a dozen steps away.

He shot a crossbow, and shot a light cavalry who was behind from his horse.

In the end, three Turkic Qingqi escaped.

Xu Feng took a long breath, just now, his heart was beating extremely violently.

Several Fengzi jumped out of the cart, ran to cut off the heads of the Kucha soldiers who had been shot by arrows, and searched them all over, stripping off all their armor and weapons.

When they came back, another fan went up and stripped off those people's clothes and boots, leaving a few headless and bare corpses there.

Seven horses were also chased back.

Everyone is smiling.

"Damn it, it's not a small gain."

"Wang Xiaolang is dying." Yi Cheng came over and said.

Several people were shot by arrows just now, two of them were teenagers, one was fortunate enough to only hurt his shoulder, but one was unlucky and was shot in the chest, so good at kung fu, it is no longer enough.

The teenager's mother cried heartbreakingly.

"Bandage the wounded."

"Put Wang Xiaolang in the car first, let's retreat quickly, fearing that more Qiuci Qingqi will chase after him."

It was just ten cavalry's careless Qingqi scouts just now, but if there are too many of them, the mob of them will definitely die.Now is not the time to be sad, everyone simply bandaged the wounded, then carried the dead Wang Xiaolang into a carriage, and continued to rush to Bahuan City.

Before dark, the team finally came to the city of Bachang. When they entered the city, there was already a large group of people behind them, and the Kucha forward army had already rushed to the city.

"It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't get in."

"There are so many, I'm afraid there are no fewer than ten thousand people. Can we hold the city?"

Everyone who had just escaped through the city stood at the door to undergo a detailed inspection. Everyone had to check their identities in case they entered the city secretly.

"Bachang City is so big and high, so you should not be afraid." Xu Feng looked at Changba City quickly, and looked at the strict defense and inspection at the gate of the city, but he was more at ease.
