I win the lottery in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 82 Shocked by the Tortoise Shell Formation

Chapter 82 Shocked by the Tortoise Shell Formation

The system's loli voice sounded, and Meng Chen was a little confused. When he was so worried that there was no suitable general available, he chose the great god Gao Xianzhi.

Gao Xianzhi, just from his name, it is not difficult to tell that he is not a pure Han Chinese, but he has left a strong mark in history.

For getting such a general, Meng Chen is naturally very excited!
"Friendly reminder, the host has yet to complete a lottery draw."

"Continue to draw."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining [-] Anxi troops."

At this moment in Mengcheng, rubbing his hands, his eyes are shining. With Gao Xianzhi as a famous general, plus [-] Anxi troops, for Mengchen, it is only a matter of time before the Western Regions are settled.

"System, deploy Gao Xianzhi and the [-] Anxi Army, and let them meet at Yumen Pass."

"Ding, the deployment is successful, and it will arrive in the morning."

People are refreshed on happy occasions, and after Meng Chen finished the lottery draw, he fell asleep soundly.

In the early morning of the next day, before Meng Chen had finished practicing a set of halberd techniques, Meng Shan appeared in front of Meng Chen with a handsome general.

When Meng Chen put away his halberd, he saw the man hastily stepped forward and said: "The last general Gao Xianzhi, see the lord."

"General Gao's Chinese is very pure."

"When I was eight years old, I came to Dahan with my father."

"I see!"

Meng Chen nodded, and only then did he understand the reason.

Gao Xianzhi, who was originally from Goguryeo, has lived in Dahan for decades.

"Are you familiar with the situation in the Western Regions?" Meng Chen asked while drinking the clear water in the water bag.

"It's fairly familiar, following my father to do business in the Western Regions all year round."

Asked everything that should be asked, with Gao Xianzhi and a guide, Meng Chen was [-] to [-]% sure.

Every time the army is drawn from the system, it is basically equipped with a month's food and grass as standard, but it is only enough.

After sending Jia Xu away, Meng Chen began to mobilize troops and go north to crusade against Wusun Kingdom.

"Gongming, Yumen Pass is my foundation, so I must not lose anything." Before leaving, Meng Chen told Xu Huang.

"My lord, don't worry, wake up!"

After finishing speaking, Mengcheng led an army of nearly [-] men and marched towards the northwest.

At Yumen Pass, when Jia Xu returned from Shanshan, he would bring enough supplies, so Meng Chen didn't leave too much food and grass behind.

The army headed west all the way, bypassing the desert, and headed straight for Weixu City.

After a short supply there, Meng Chen will lead the army towards the location of the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and it will go to the city.

It is located in the territory of Qiuci, and it is also the focus of the struggle between Wusun and Qiuci.

In the past, when the Han army was stationed here, it made large-scale improvements to the dry city.

This makes it possible for the Kucha Kingdom to use this city to carry out an effective counterattack in the previous confrontations!

This is also the fundamental reason why Wusun Kingdom has not been able to conquer Kucha for so long.

"Xiaoman, how far is it from Weixu City?" As the guide of the army, Xiaoman seemed particularly excited along the way.

Although his age is not much different from Meng Chen, Xiaoman's familiarity with the Western Regions is beyond Meng Chen's imagination.

Even Gao Xianzhi was full of praise for it, it was like a living map.

"General, this place is only half a day away from Weixu City. Tonight we will spend the night by the water source not far ahead, and we will arrive at noon tomorrow."

"Is there any defenders in Weixu City?"

"After the Weixu Kingdom was conquered by Wusun, it no longer has an army. There are more than a thousand Wusun cavalry stationed in Weixu City all the year round."

"Oh? It turns out that Weixu is also a country!" Meng Chen sighed.

The countries in the Western Regions vary in size, let’s say Kucha. It was originally the largest country in the Western Regions. After its power weakened, the Wusun Kingdom took advantage of the momentum and captured many territories in Kucha.

If it weren't for the last few hundred Han troops from the Western Regions Governor's Mansion to join, the Kucha Kingdom would have been wiped out by the rising Wusun long ago.

"Speaking of which, the rise of Wusun Kingdom is very sudden, as if there is help from the gods!" Xiao Man subconsciously underestimated a sentence, which made Meng Chen suddenly interested.

"Oh? The cavalry of the Wusun Kingdom is powerful, but in the eyes of this general, they are like chickens and wags." Meng Chen said deliberately.

Compared with the Beiwei army in his hands, the cavalry of the countries in the Western Regions are not worth mentioning.

What's more, the Huns cavalry alone are not comparable to them.

"It's different from what the general said. It's not the cavalry that makes Wusun strong, but the heavily armored infantry." When he said this, Xiao Man lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something.

"Their heavy armored infantry are arranged neatly and squarely, like a hard rock. Arrows can't break through the shield's defense at all, even cavalry can't do anything about it."

"Shield array? Rock solid?"

Meng Chen muttered differently, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he asked immediately, "But the red long shield? Throwing a javelin in melee, and then using a short sword?"

"How does the general know?"

From Xiaoman's expression, Meng Chen has already got a positive answer.

He vaguely remembered that there were records in later generations that when the Han army fought against the Huns, a strange army appeared.

But all the history books don't have too many descriptions of this army, they are all generalizations.

"The tortoise shell array in Rome!" Meng Chen thought silently in his heart.

The tortoise shell formation is one of the most common formations of the Roman legion. When it was at its strongest, it completely beat all the surrounding countries.

But the tortoise armor array is not invincible, at least the Huns have defeated them, otherwise they will not appear in the battle with the Han army.

Among the countries in the Western Regions, the Tortoise Armor Formation may be invincible, but how did Wusun Kingdom get the Tortoise Armor Formation, or the help of the Romans?
All of this, in Meng Chen's view, is completely impossible!

In order to enter Weixu City smoothly, Meng Chen specially arranged a bait.

The arrogant Wusun cavalry was naturally fooled.

When tens of thousands of Han troops appeared around them, the Wusun cavalry were dumbfounded.

For the group of Wusun cavalry in front of him, Meng Chen had no mercy, a massacre was inevitable.

After Weixucheng received the "gift" prepared by Meng Chen, Kaicheng surrendered without hesitation.

Facing the powerful Han army, let alone King Weixu, even King Wusun has to weigh it.

Of course, what it meant for the Han army to appear in the Western Regions again, King Weixu knew very well.

After supplying supplies in Weixu City, after a short three-day rest, Meng Chen led the army and set off again.

According to the news from King Weixu, the army of the Wusun Kingdom is attacking Gancheng. Once the city is broken, the Kucha Kingdom will face the danger of being destroyed.

At the same time, news of the arrival of Han envoys and troops had already spread from Shanshan.

Due to the distance, Wusun Kingdom, which dominates the Western Regions, has not received any news.

The only thing that made King Wusun uneasy was that his general, Tie Shami, had not sent any news back for more than two months.
