Chapter 84 Roman Mercenaries

Chapter 84 Roman Mercenaries

The [-] Qiang cavalry led by Li Cunxiao broke through the hastily formed army formation of Wusun State.

King Wusun was so frightened that he fled in a hurry with his guards.

But Li Cunxiao did not order the pursuit, but chose to continue the charge.

Mengchen had already arranged everything before the war. Even if King Wusun fled, he would run head-on into the [-] cavalry of Ma Teng and Ma Chao.

In the first battle in the Western Regions, what Mengchen wanted was not just a victory, but to reshape the prestige of the big man in the Western Regions.

It was under the city, when Xue Rengui led two Huns cavalry on a rampage, the Wusun cavalry was completely powerless to fight back.

Don't look at being able to dominate Wusun in the Western Regions, but when facing the Han army, it's not enough.

On the top of the city, the heavily armored soldiers of the Wusun Kingdom did not rush down the city like they did. The leading general knew in his heart that this city was easy to get up and down.

Especially in the current situation, the general trend of Wusun's army is gone, and this heavy armored soldier is in a dilemma.

"General Huo, attack!"

Hearing this, Huo Ben frowned. The heavily armored soldiers in front of him were approaching each other. In the current situation, if there is a strong attack, there will be a lot of casualties.

"Assemble the archers and block the way."

Although Wusun's army has been defeated, Huo Ben is now in a new confusion.

As a descendant of the Protectorate Army, Huo Ben has never forgotten his identity as a Han Chinese, but now he shoulders the comfort of the city. Whether to open the city gate or not, Huo Ben is caught in a dilemma.

"Tell His Majesty the king that the big man's army is back." After hesitating for a while, Huo Ben kicked the ball to King Qiuci.

Not far away, the handsome flag of the Han army was slowly approaching. It wasn't until then that Huo Ben saw clearly that there was a large Mongolian flag next to the handsome flag.

There was a rush of footsteps, and Huo Ben knew that King Qiuci had arrived.

Such a major event occurred in the Han army, it is impossible for the King of Kucha not to come forward in person.

"Shield formation, protect His Majesty the King!"

Because the Wusun heavy armor soldiers at the head of the city still put on the tortoise armor formation, Huo Ben had to be careful to defend.

Huo Ben didn't attack, and the opponent had no such plan.

For a while, the two sides faced off in such a tacit understanding.

There have long been rumors in the Western Regions that the heavily armored infantry of Wusun Kingdom are mercenaries. Judging from the current situation, the rumors are not false.

"General Huo, who is the commander-in-chief of the Han army?" King Qiuci asked out of breath after he climbed to the top of the wall.

"Flying the Mongolian character handsome flag, I don't know the specific official position."

"Open the city gate quickly, don't neglect!"

Now that the king had given the order, Huo Ben, who was in charge of the city defense, no longer had to worry about it, and the gate of Gancheng, which had been closed for half a month, opened again.

When Meng Chen leisurely arrived at the gate of the city, he saw King Qiuci leading a group of ministers waiting for a long time.

"The heavenly army from the upper court arrived, and this king is far away to welcome him."

The King of Qiuci saluted, his words were respectful, he was afraid that someone would accidentally offend the person in front of him.

"Mengchen, the governor of Xiliang, was added as the general who conquered the west, and was ordered by the emperor to restart the trade routes in the western regions."

Meng Chen moved out the emperor as soon as he opened his mouth, which made the king of Qiuci feel at ease.

"Please also invite General Meng to rest in the city. The king has ordered someone to prepare a banquet."

"The war is not over yet, and there will still be problems to be dealt with."

After Meng Chen finished speaking, he pointed at the top of the city with the Overlord Halberd, and the King of Kucha instantly understood.

Turning around, he waved to Huo Ben, and then said: "General Huo, after the battle is over, please go to the palace to have a banquet with General Meng."

After saying that, the King of Qiuci bowed respectfully to Meng Chen again, and then left slowly with a group of ministers.

King Kucha had no intention of participating in such a thing as a war.

"Huo Ben, a descendant of the Protectorate Army, met General Zhengxi."

Huo Ben stepped forward to salute, and he was very good at Meng Chen's official title.

And Meng Chen looked at Huo Ben with a smile, even if there was a scar on his face, he couldn't hide Huo Ben's handsome face.

"I heard that General Huo is brave and resourceful. I am lucky to meet you today!" Although Meng Chen said it in a polite way, there was no exaggeration in it.

Meng Chen already knew about Huo Ben's matter through the guide Xiao Man.

"Brother Huo!"

"Little Man?"

A crisp voice came out, and Huo Ben showed an expression of sudden realization.

"Xiao Man doesn't understand etiquette, please don't blame General Zhengxi."

"No problem, no problem, I don't have so many etiquette here."

These three or two sentences of Meng Chen have already made Huo Ben feel very cordial in his heart.

And from the Overlord's Halberd in Meng Chen's hand and the black horse sitting down, Huo Ben has already judged that the Zhengxi General in front of him is a remarkable person.

"Ding, congratulations to the host for completing the task and getting a chance to draw a prize."

"Ding, the mission is updated, recover the Roman mercenaries."

Two loli voices sounded in Meng Chen's mind, making the smile on his face even brighter.

Originally, he was already prepared in his heart, but he never expected that Meng Chen would still find it difficult to control his inner excitement in front of the facts.

After chatting a few more words, Huo Ben led Meng Chen to the top of the city.

And the "scenery" on the top of the city suddenly made Meng Chen's eyes brighten.

Without further ado, Meng Chen squeezed out of the crowd, raised the Overlord Halberd in his hand, exerted all his strength, and then slashed towards the battlement beside him.

"Boom!" After a loud noise and smoke, the battlement that Meng Chen attacked just now had been cut off.

Shock, naked shock!
Meng Chen had many ways to recover the Roman mercenaries in front of him, but he chose the simplest and most brutal mode.

"Who is the general?" There was a Chinese voice from the tortoise shell formation, although the words were very convoluted, but Meng Chen understood.

"I am the emperor of the Han Dynasty, and I personally appointed Meng Chen, General Zhengxi!"

Meng Chen has been preparing for this kind of rhetoric for a while. Romans may not understand other official positions, but the term general is common.

"If we surrender, can the general give us a way out?"

"This general has an army of [-], and you are not qualified to bargain."

Meng Chen ignored it, the implication was that if you want to survive, you must surrender, otherwise...

There was silence in the tortoise shell formation, maybe the other party was also thinking about it, but the fact that this group of people can survive until now shows that they value their own lives extremely important.

"The general gives us a way to survive, and we will serve the general for five years!"

"Five years? Hahahaha, ten years, not even one hour less!" Meng Chen laughed loudly, since he wanted to live, he just squeezed more time.

There was silence again, and then there was a conversation in the middle of the battle, and it seemed that the other party was also having a hard time making a choice.

"There will be no problem in ten years, but please let the general spare the son-in-law of Wusun Kingdom."

Although he still didn't know the purpose of the group of Roman mercenaries in front of him, Mengchen still agreed.

"So, it's a deal, and you will withdraw from the assembly outside the city!"

As soon as Meng Chen's words fell, the group of people in front of him cheered bursts of cheers, and it was unknown whether it was because they could continue to live or for other reasons.

But all of this requires Meng Chen to inquire carefully!
