A Millennium Aristocratic Family Starting from the Shang Dynasty

Chapter 397: King of Dayuan: How can I lose the flying dragon riding face?
King Dayuan never expected that Daqian, thousands of miles away, would send out a large army to attack.After learning that Daqian had arrived, there was no panic at all.

Although the King of Dayuan was greedy, he still had military qualities. He immediately said to his ministers: "Daqan is indeed powerful after defeating the Huns, but they are thousands of miles away from us.

How do they transport food and grass over such a long distance?I'm afraid that only [-]% of the [-]% of the food and grass will be left!In my opinion, this Emperor Qian is also a man who doesn't know how to fight, but he is so arrogant. "

"Soldiers have traveled thousands of miles, and they are exhausted all the way. In addition, there is insufficient food and grass. How can they still have the strength to fight when they get here? How can such a tired army be the opponent of our elite Dawan troops?"

"Their final outcome is to be killed by us. The watering of flesh and blood will make our land more fertile!"

King Dayuan's words seemed to make sense, but he ignored Kucha City intentionally or unintentionally.Daqian's army did not march from thousands of miles away, but set out from Kucha City.

The required grain and grass baggage was also transported from Tianci City, with Qiuci and Shule as transshipment bases in between. The grain transshipment was not as difficult as they imagined.

It’s not that the King of Dayuan didn’t know how powerful Dagan was. After all, the Huns who had previously oppressed the Western Regions were defeated by the Gan people. He dared to do this because Dagan was too far away.

"Your Majesty, the enemy army has traveled thousands of miles to attack, and it is difficult to supply food and grass. As long as we strengthen the walls and clear the country, if the Daqian people attack, we will defend to the death. When they are exhausted, and their ammunition and food are exhausted, our army will take the opportunity to attack. By then, the Daqian people will definitely be strong. Defeat." said a general next to him.

"Hahaha, although your tactics are good, our country, Dawan, is a big country in the Western Region. Dawan's majesty does not allow anyone to provoke. Send my order to let the soldiers mount their horses, put on their armor, pick up weapons, and fight those Kill any enemy who dares to invade our Dawan Kingdom!"

King Dayuan shouted loudly, and the generals in the hall immediately responded loudly.

As King Dayuan's order was issued, the army in the royal capital immediately began to assemble.

"The Protector, Your Highnesses King Zheng and King Wei, the scouts have just arrived to report that the Dawan people have gathered soldiers and sent out troops." A school lieutenant hurriedly came in to report.

When Wang Bo heard this, he immediately laughed and said: "The King of Dayuan actually dares to go out of the city to fight with us!"

"The King of Dayuan must have thought that we are exhausted after our expedition of thousands of miles, and we are a tired army!" Wang Xiang said with a slight smile.

"Hmph, you little barbarian, you don't know the power of our celestial dynasty, and you are arrogant. We must teach him a lesson this time!" Wang Fu said with a sneer.

None of the three people took the Dawan army seriously. Over the years, the Daqian army had been attacking everywhere and winning consecutive battles, which gave them enough confidence.

"Okay, we still need to be careful. The army is traveling thousands of miles away. If we are defeated miserably because of our carelessness, it will be too late to regret it!" As the commander-in-chief, Wang Bo knew that he could not underestimate the enemy at any time.

"Yes!" Wang Xiang and Wang Fu also straightened their expressions and said with cupped hands.

"Notify all troops to rest where they are and wear armor!" Wang Bo ordered.

Since the Dawan people came out of the city to fight him, Wang Bo was happy to wait for work.The soldiers were immediately ordered to rest, put on armor, and take out dry food and water to eat as soon as possible.

Following Wang Bo's order, the army immediately stopped advancing, and then tens of thousands of elite cavalry dismounted one after another, put on their armor with the help of the auxiliary soldiers, and then quickly took out dry food to eat, while the auxiliary soldiers took out bean cakes to feed the war horses.

War in the classical era was very physically demanding. Without supplementary food, physical exhaustion would easily occur.

Most of the time, there is not much intrigue or complicated strategies in war.Because the battlefield is changing rapidly, the more complex the strategy, the more likely it is to make mistakes, not to mention that the current battlefield is a vast plain.

Strategies such as ambushes and sneak attacks are almost useless. The only way to fight here is to face the enemy head-on, relying on the command and dispatch of the generals, the equipment and bravery of the soldiers.The one with brave soldiers, correct command, and better equipment will win.

"Your Majesty, the Dagan people are thirty miles away. They are burying pots to make rice. They seem to be preparing to take a rest." A scout rushed over to report.

"Hahaha, God help me, Ganren is burying pots to make rice now. He ordered the army to speed up the march. We must defeat the Ganren in one fell swoop while they are eating." King Dayuan laughed.

The surrounding generals responded one after another and immediately led the soldiers to speed up the march.

Time passed quickly. After eating and drinking, the soldiers mounted their horses one after another, and finally saw a large number of enemy troops appearing in the distance.

Seeing the Dawan army appear, Wang Bo immediately ordered the Daqian army to advance slowly.

He already knew through his scouts that Dawan was coming at full speed. As a veteran on the battlefield, he knew exactly what the Dawan people wanted to do.

It's a pity that he didn't know that Daqian's soldiers were all elites, different from the bastards he met before, and the time estimate was wrong. When he arrived, Daqian was already ready.

More importantly, the Dawan army was in disarray due to its rapid march.He did not give the Dawan people a chance to reorganize their formation.After the two sides were about two thousand steps apart, they immediately ordered the large cavalry and the Guardian Knights to charge together.

The war horses that were jogging immediately accelerated and charged. Before the Dawan people had time to reorganize the scattered military formation, the Daganjingqi had already charged forward.

"The warriors of Daqian, the small country of Zuer, dare to disrespect our higher country, kill them!"

"Whoever captures and kills the enemy chieftain, the King of Dayuan, I will personally ask His Majesty to reward him with a title!"

Wang Bo drew out his horizontal sword, and the sound of the war drums became more and more urgent. The drums beat and the horses' hooves rumbled. Da Ganjing's knightly spirit was high and he charged straight towards the army formation of Dayuan Kingdom.

Daqian's army is now equipped with a large number of crossbows. When the cavalry charges, a wave of crossbows is fired directly, creating a gap in the enemy's formation. Then the army rushes forward to tear the gap and continuously divide the enemy.

At the same time, they cooperated with the heavy armored infantry team to carry out strangulation on the battlefield.

The five thousand expedition athletes are all heavy armored infantry. Although the armor is not as good as the armor of the Central Plains Forbidden Army, it is not comparable to these people from the Western Regions.

The expedition athletes marched forward in formation, facing the Dawan people's light cavalry and light infantry, just like abusing vegetables.Daqian's crossbows have become more advanced through continuous development, and in order to guard the Western Regions, Wang Jing also provided support and gave them a large number of crossbow weapons.

Therefore, these expedition athletes basically have one crossbow in each hand.There are crossbows in the front rows, and bows and arrows in the back.

In previous games, it often appeared that archers could not defeat infantry in close combat, but in real history, especially the history before the Song Dynasty, all archers were strong men.

In ancient times, using bows and arrows required a lot of strength, and those with strong strength naturally wore heavy armor and could wield long swords. Therefore, archers in ancient times were basically strong men and elite men. Before the two armies fought, they first used bows and arrows to shoot arrows.Wait until the enemy is close, then fight with your sword.

This was the case for these expedition athletes. Crossbow arrows kept falling, and waves of Dawan soldiers were shot and killed.The morale of the army was high, and they quickly rushed into the enemy's battle formation, tearing the Dawan people's formation apart.

Wang Bo led the Guardian Knights to guard the central army. It didn't take long for him to see that the Dawan people were gradually unable to hold up under Daqian's attack. He immediately shouted loudly: "King Haotianwen is with me. !”

The surrounding Guardian Knights immediately became fanatical, their faces even more pious, and they shouted together: "King Haotianwen is with me!"

"Warriors of Daqian, King Haotianwen is with us!"

On the entire battlefield, all the soldiers shouted loudly at this moment, and their voices were like thunder, spreading throughout the battlefield.On the battlefield, the Dawan people who were already at a disadvantage were startled by Gan Ren's shouts. Although they didn't understand what they were shouting about, seeing Da Gan's morale getting higher and higher, they felt panicked.

More importantly, the Dawan people discovered that Ganren's cavalry riding skills were surprisingly superb. Basically everyone could control the horse without relying on reins and operate weapons with both hands. Only a few elites in Dawan could do this.

Ma Shan controlled it with both hands, and it was so powerful that the Dawan people could not resist it. The temple army rushed towards Dawan's right wing and outflanked Dagan Jingqi.

The Dawan army is not a professional soldier. After all, as a city-state alliance, Dawan's national power is scattered, and even the king does not have enough money to form an army composed of all professional soldiers.

This kind of army is no match for the elite.The cavalry on both wings were quickly killed by the great cavalry.

The Dagan cavalry are all equipped with armor. Although they do not have the elite heavy armor of the infantry, they are simply crushed against the Dawan people's unarmored light cavalry.

The cavalry on both wings began to collapse under the attack of Dagan Jingqi and the Guardian Knights. Without the cavalry to protect the two wings, how could Dawan's infantry be able to hold on.

Soon Dawan's infantry also began to collapse, and a large number of defeated troops fled in confusion. The Dagan Jingqi and the Guardian Knights drove the defeated troops of Dawan unhurriedly, and kept harvesting these soldiers with crossbows.

The Dawan rear army wanted to stabilize their formation, but how could they hold on under the impact of Dagan driving countless broken troops?Soon they were surrounded by the defeated troops and were defeated together.

King Dayuan fled quickly under the escort of his guards when his army collapsed.The King of Dayuan was riding a top-notch sweaty horse, and it was incredibly fast. Even if Wang Bo ordered the pursuit, the light cavalry could not catch up.

King Dayuan relied on his bloody horse to quickly get rid of Daqian's pursuers, and then fled back to the King's City of Dayuan without stopping.

However, the escape of King Dawan also caused the complete collapse of the Dawan army. The mountains and plains were full of Dawan soldiers fleeing.People kept dying in the pursuit of Gan Ren.

The Dawan people were so defeated that they could no longer organize any counterattack, so they could only flee in embarrassment. Da Gan pursued them all the way, and the land for dozens of miles was covered with the blood of the Dawan people.

The soldiers of Daqian chased for thirty miles, and then they called for gold and retreated. This battle was a great victory. Wang Bo took a brief rest, leaving some people to clean the battlefield, and immediately led his troops to the capital of Dawan.
