Chapter 83 The First Battle of the Western Regions

Chapter 83 The First Battle of the Western Regions

It was going to dry the city, [-] Wusun troops approached the city, but the Kucha defenders in the city did not show any panicked expressions.

For so many years, the Wusun Kingdom has attacked this city dozens of times, all of which failed. This time, it is estimated that it will be no exception!
"Your Majesty, the city is too dangerous, please return to the palace for shelter!"

The speaking general had an obvious knife mark on his face, from the right side of his face down to the lower jaw of his left side.

In terms of appearance, this person is still considered young and handsome, but he is obviously different from the people of the Western Regions, and he is completely the face of a Han Chinese.

"General Huo, what is the siege equipment used by Wusun Kingdom?"

King Qiuci didn't answer directly, but pointed to the huge and gorgeous thing in front of him, showing a look of horror on his face.

Huo Ben, Han, since the Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions, the Huo family has been a general for generations, guarding the territory of the Western Regions for the Han Dynasty.

In the generation of Huo Ben's ancestors, the power of the great Han gradually withdrew from the Western Regions, but the remaining Imperial Guards still stood firm.

If King Qiuci hadn't kindly taken in his ancestors back then, Huo Ben wouldn't be where he is now.

To this day, there are only more than [-] descendants of the Protectorate Army, but it is also more than [-] people who helped Qiuci train an army that can compete with Wusun's army.

Originally, Huo Ben planned to raid the capital of Wusun, but who expected to be betrayed by a traitor, causing heavy damage to the army. Huo Ben led the remnants of the defeated generals and fled back to Gancheng in a hurry.

"Your Majesty, this is the siege ladder." Huo Ben explained casually.

The engineering ladder in front of us is slightly different in shape from the ladder used by the Han army, but the general function is not much different.

Therefore, even Huo Ben, who had never seen this thing before, could figure it out in a very short time.

"Is there a way to prevent it?"

"The ladder is made of wood in the final analysis. When it is close to the city wall, it can be attacked with fire."

King Qiuci nodded, and Huo Ben made another gesture of invitation. If the king was shot first when the war started, the morale of the army would plummet.

Looking at the back of King Qiuci going away, Huo Ben heaved a sigh of relief.

Originally a perfect sneak attack plan, but he didn't want the traitor to leak the news.

Right now, this battle is more difficult than ever before!
Touching the scar on his cheek with his hands, Huo Ben's eyes became indifferent.

As the descendants of the Protectorate Army, they always firmly believed that the strong army of the big man would definitely come back.

A low-pitched horn sounded, and the siege battle just kicked off.

Fifteen miles east of Gancheng, Meng Chen led an army of [-] and waited quietly here.

Today, just after Mengchen led the army arrived, he sent scouts to investigate the battle in Gancheng.

So far, the news sent back by the scouts is getting more and more urgent!
"My lord, Wusun Kingdom's [-]-strong army has stormed for so long, but I didn't expect its dry city to stand still."

"I am also curious as to who is commanding such a defensive battle."

After a pause, Meng Chen said again: "From the information we have received so far, its defensive mode in Gancheng is no different from that of the Han army."

"Xiao Man, do you know who is the guard of Gancheng?" Meng Chen turned his head and asked Xiao Man who was still eating the leg of lamb.

"Huo Ben, General Huo!" Xiao Man muttered while chewing on the mutton.

"Huo Ben?" Meng Chen made a difference, pondered for a while in his mind, but couldn't match the number.

"Ding, the task is updated, clear it from Gancheng within an hour, and you will be rewarded with a lucky draw!"

The loli voice in his mind came, and Meng Chen knew that he couldn't delay any longer.

This time the task is urgent, Meng Chen has never encountered it before.

"Report, the heavily armored infantry of Wusun Kingdom are engaged in the siege battle."

The scout's report brought a smile to Meng Chen's face.

Now that Wusun Kingdom has already used its trump card, there is no need for him to be polite.

"The generals obeyed the order. Li Cunxiao led [-] Qiang cavalry to attack Wusun's central army."

"Xue Rengui led [-] Xiongnu cavalry to attack the Wusun army that was besieging the city."

"Ma Teng and Ma Chao led [-] cavalry to detour behind Wusun's army and intercept and kill the defeated army."

"The rest of the troops would have gone to meet this heavy armored infantry at all."

"Anyone who resists will be killed!"

"No!" Everyone agreed in unison, and then dispersed.

Ma Teng, Ma Chao and his son were the first to set off. Since they wanted to block the retreat of Wusun's army, the soldiers of Ma's army had to take a detour.

The fifteen-mile journey is just a warm-up for the cavalry.

In the first battle of entering the Western Regions, Meng Chen's purpose is self-evident, that is to show the prestige of the Han army.

It attacked the city, and as Wusun Kingdom's heavily armored soldiers went into battle, the already crumbling city defense finally missed.

Huo Ben was covered in blood, and there were less than a hundred guards around him.

The offensive and defensive battle lasted for half a month, and both sides paid a heavy price.

"Swear to live and die with the city wall!" Huo Ben shouted loudly, showing his determination to die.

The soldiers of Wusun Kingdom wanted to enter the city, but they had to step over their corpses.

At this critical moment, a burst of shouts came: "Kill! Drive the Wusun bastard out of the city."

"General, it's the king's guard!"

Huo Ben smiled, King Qiuci knew the current battle situation very well, otherwise he would not have played the last trump card in his hand.

As more and more heavily armored soldiers of Wusun Kingdom climbed to the top of the city, large and small tortoise armor formations appeared in front of them.

This formation has almost no flaws in the narrow space, making Huo Ben and others dare not step forward easily.

"woo woo woo woo!"

On the eastern horizon, two low-pitched horns sounded suddenly, followed by the sound of war drums, causing the soldiers on both sides to look east at the same time.

Huo Ben was a little dazed, such a familiar voice, could it be the army of the big man?
There was a thunderous sound of horseshoes, and there were figures on the horizon. No matter the soldiers of Kucha or the generals of Wusun, they all wanted to find out who this sudden army was.

Not long after, a handsome flag with black characters on a red background gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision.

At this moment, Huo Ben's eyes were a little moist. Such a familiar color made the remaining guards cheer.

"Han army, it's reinforcements!" Cheers came and went from the top of the city. At this moment, the morale of the defenders was greatly shaken.

Two streams of iron rushed out from the formation of the Han army, one headed towards the rear formation of Wusun Kingdom, and the whole time came towards it.

The sound of horseshoes thundered, and the ground trembled. This moment was fatal to the army of Wusun Kingdom.

"Set up formations to stop the cavalry of the Han army! Withdraw the heavy armored infantry!" King Wusun yelled.

But it's too late for all this!

Two cavalry of the Han army rushed into the army of Wusun like a flood.

Wherever they passed, people's heads rolled, and war horses screamed.

Coupled with the fact that the leading Han general was so brave, Wusun's army completely collapsed at this moment.
