Three Kingdoms.

Taxa kept looking forward, trying to see through the night, and see all Zhang Liao's movements clearly, but it was a pity that he could only see this small area in front of him, and wanted to see through the night To see the panorama, it will not be possible until thousands of years later to get infrared equipment.

However, when Takesa saw the figure of the Han Chinese cavalry jumping out of the light of the night again, he still roared as much as he could, and ordered the frontline meat shields to concentrate on resisting, and let his adjutant Attack with cavalry!

  Guishhuang people actually don't look down on soldiers from these states in the Western Regions. Because when Guishuang dominated Central Asia and wrestled with neighboring countries such as Anxi, all these big and small states in the Western Regions were like grandchildren, lying on the ground and licking the boots of Guishuang people.

   It’s just like the characteristics of most dynasties when they are coming to an end. The heart is not old and the mind is not sad yet, but the body is already very honest and can’t be hardened.

  Maybe coming to the Western Regions is the Guishan people trying to toughen up again at the end of the dynasty...

  When the Guishuang cavalry rushed out, the Han cavalry had already thrown out the second round of throwing guns. Although a large number of cheap meat shields in front of the position fell down again, it didn't matter. Taxa looked proudly at the Guishuang cavalry under his command who were about to intercept the Han cavalry, and couldn't help but want to sing the little tunes of his hometown in his heart. This move must have been beyond the expectations of the Han generals!

  Below this distance, even if the Han people take another throwing gun, it will be too late!

Because throwing guns requires the use of the speed of the horses to have enough power, and the Han cavalry is turning now. On the one hand, the speed has dropped, and on the other hand, the direction is wrong. Coupled with the inertia of the horses when turning, those Han cavalry It is certainly difficult for the cavalry to turn around or change direction, but they will be eaten by the Guishuang cavalry in vain!

Hahaha!

  What kind of Han general, let you know how powerful I am, a high-ranking nobleman in Guishuang, Taksa!

  Takesa clenched his fists and looked excitedly at his cavalry, charging straight at the Han cavalry.

   But this excitement did not last long.

  The Guishuang cavalry roared out, but they didn't see the panicked appearance of the Han cavalry, but saw the Han cavalry raised their arms at them, holding something...

  Suddenly, a memory fragment that was once forgotten by them jumped out again in the minds of the Guishuang people!

  The Han people have crossbows!

Why?

  Why did the Han people have crossbows, but they used spears to attack those meat shields?

  Why did the Han people prepare crossbow arrows in advance, as if they expected their own side to attack?

  Why can the crossbow arrows of the Han people not be fired because of the jolt of the horse or the accidental touch of the rider?

Why…

   Before Taksa figured out why, his Guishuang cavalry had already slammed into the crossbow arrows fired by the Han cavalry!

   Suddenly blood splattered everywhere.

  Even when there is sufficient light during the day, it is not an easy task to avoid the shooting of crossbow arrows, let alone trying to avoid the crossbow arrows shot by the Han army in the dark.

   What's even more exaggerated is that most of these despicable Han people are not targeting people, but horses!

   How many people know how to hide, the horse is so stupid...

   All of a sudden, everyone turned on their backs!

   In the blink of an eye, the judgment was decided, and the tip of the knife that Guishuang hit was snapped off!

  The follow-up Guishuang cavalry could not hold the horses, and the horses were short-sighted...

  Naturally, the situation is overwhelming again!

   Waiting until the Han cavalry turned around, the Guishuang cavalry could be considered to have bypassed the chaotic area, but what immediately greeted the Guishuang cavalry was bursts of sharp whistles!

  The sturdy Han cavalry in turn charged the Guishuang cavalry!

  Takesa's mind was in chaos, and he could hardly believe his eyes.

How can this be?

   Although the cavalry is very strong, but the cavalry also has a fatal weakness, that is, once it is engaged in battle, it is difficult to turn when charging, and after the formation is disturbed, it is difficult to restore order as quickly as the infantry. Therefore, experienced cavalry commanders will not easily launch an army raid, but divide the cavalry into different echelons. During the raid, one echelon will be invested one by one, and the timing will be good, so that the first echelon will immediately attack the enemy as soon as it breaks through the enemy. Turn around and spread out, and the next echelon will follow one after another, and continue to raid the enemy to expand the results.

  The generals of the Han army obviously seem to have invested all their soldiers and horses, but they can still ride in a row. This kind of thing is simply...

How can this be?

  However, this is the truth.

  Taksa stared at the state of his so-called elite Guishuang cavalry, beat his chest, and gritted his teeth.

  These Guishuang cavalry are still scattered and have not recovered their formation!

   There are differences between people, and there are also differences between cavalry generals.

  Takesa thinks it is impossible because he cannot do it, but it does not mean that he cannot do it. Zhang Liao is also unable to do it...

  In a blink of an eye, Zhang Liao rushed directly into the Guishuang cavalry as if he was wrapped in a storm!

  The long spear danced, like a ferocious monster in the process of impact, waving its soul-hunting claws, opening its mouth that devoured everything, revealing its brutal teeth!

Taxa yelled, trying to get the archers on the ground to give some support to his Guishuang cavalry to block the attack of the Han Chinese cavalry, but the archers' shooting did not have any effective indicators, and there was not enough coverage effect of arrow rain. So the effect is very poor.

  Takesa watched most of his arrows fall in the air, and watched his cavalry fall one by one, and then watched his adjutant making the final charge against the Han general...

Takesa stared dumbfounded on the dirt hill. Suddenly, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his back. It felt as if someone had punched him directly in the abdomen. His entire intestines and stomach convulsed. All that surges is acid water.

Because when Tagusa saw his adjutant, at the moment when he was attacking the general, the general's action was like lightning, the spear in his hand came first, and penetrated directly into his adjutant's chest and abdomen. place!

   That's his adjutant!

  Now it looks like a little lamb bitten on the mouth of a fierce beast...

  The beast, oh, no, it was the Han general, who even lifted the adjutant off his horse, drawing a streak of blood in the air!

   Not only that, Tagusa even saw that his adjutant did not die immediately on top of the Han Chinese spear. He didn’t know whether it was because of the instinctive convulsions before death, or the dying struggle. Anyway, his hands and feet were trembling and dancing...

  Takesa felt that his chest and abdomen seemed to be convulsing and wrenching.

  The Guishuang cavalry was defeated and fled in all directions.

  Zhang Liao threw the Guishuang Military Academy in front of the formation, and then slowly reined in the horse, not continuing to charge forward. The Han cavalry behind him also slowed down, and then stopped in front of the Guishuang formation.

   Guishuang's array was staring blankly at Zhang Liao and the others at this moment, as if they were captured by Zhang Liao at this moment, and half of their blood was frozen.

  『Damn it! Damn it! ”Tagusa was the first to recover, gritted his teeth and growled, “He is demonstrating! He is demonstrating to me! 』

  Takesa heard the clucking of his upper and lower teeth, and he didn't know whether it was because of anger or fear.

  『Alert! Stabilize the line..." Tagusa shouted hoarsely, "Steady the line! Don't be chaotic, and don't let the Han people take the opportunity to break through! All stabilized! 』

  The soldiers and generals around him felt like they had woken up from a nightmare when he yelled like this, and hurriedly began to gather up the queue, and the orders were passed on one after another.

The queue of Han people moved again, and the sound of horseshoes sounded again, knocking on the hearts of Guishuang and others. After they picked up their spears in fear and prepared to meet the next wave of Han offensive, Zhang Liao There was no attack, but as if mocking the opponent, the cavalry turned around and walked away slowly...

  『…』Taksa widened his eyes, and said in disbelief, as if he was asking himself or others, "This...this...why did you leave? 』

   No one can give Taxa an answer.

   It seems that no one will give Zhang Liao an answer...

  Zhang Liao also didn't understand why Lu Bu killed Gao Shun by mistake.

The occurrence of this accident made the original plan impossible to continue. Zhang Liao could only change the original plan to lure the enemy, but after exerting maximum pressure on Taksa, he took advantage of the power of the attack and slowly withdrew. battlefield.

The Guishuang coalition army followed Zhang Liao for a while tentatively, and then was scared out of their wits by Zhang Liao's counterattack, so they didn't dare to go forward any more, just lingered, and then waited until dawn and the fire in Qiuci City gradually extinguished, and then went back to the city. The burnt ruins gathered.

   Outside the ruins of Qiuci City, the coalition forces held a "victory" meeting, and representatives from various states attended the meeting. At the meeting, Taxa said that this action was successful and effective. Guishuang, which represented the light, had reproduced the glory of the Buddha and regained Qiuci City. Those vicious Han people fled with their tails between their legs!

  As for the battle that took place in the dark night, it disappeared as the night passed...

  The rest, everyone agrees, this is a great victory!

  Victory for Buddha!

  Look, the brilliance of the sun is the smile of the Buddha, how brilliant and dazzling it is!

   Then a group of people shed tears of emotion and fell to the ground one after another.

  No way, staring at the sun for a long time...

  The celebration dances and the celebration songs are sung. The herdsmen at the lower level of the coalition army are happy to settle down, slaughtering cattle and sheep, and killing those wounded horses that cannot be cured, throwing them into the pot for cooking.

However, unlike these ordinary herdsmen who really thought they had won the victory, as the upper echelons of the coalition forces, after holding the "victory" meeting, they also held a conference with relatively few participants and the atmosphere was not good. small meeting.

On a small **** where the ruins of Qiuci City could be seen, several curtains separated the eyes of ordinary herdsmen, and representatives of several Western Region states also threw away the masks hanging on their faces, each showing different idea.

Wutuo, Zihe, Xiye, Wulei and other states located in the south of Dawan in Shache, which are biased towards the South Road of the Western Regions, are not very willing to continue to chase and expel the Han people, so they do not agree to continue to march eastward. You can accept it when you see it.

The three kingdoms of Shache, Gumo, and Shule, which were directly threatened by the Han army, are relatively more inclined to continue to attack the Han people, but if they really want to fight the Han people, they are not willing to make a contribution in this regard. Outstanding contributions, fearless sacrifices, the three of them prefer to drag others to die together... er, put their backs together... well, go up together.

  As for some small states, they have been excluded from this small meeting.

   As Taxa who presides over the meeting, it is indeed a bit of a headache. If it hadn't been for the thrilling scene last night, he might have emphasized that the Han people were weak and had been cursed by the Buddha, and then marched into the West Sea with a tough attitude, but after seeing the cavalry of the Han army, he hesitated up.

But after thinking about it, as a native of Guishuang, he actually doesn't care how many people in the Western Regions were killed or injured. As long as he can expel the Han people from the Western Regions, then he has made a miracle. The House of Lords is not a dream either!

oh…

  Salted fish should also have dreams, not to mention that this time is the closest opportunity to climb the ladder of nobility!

   Just gave up, and Tagusa was not very reconciled.

  At the small meeting, the states of the Western Regions quarreled with each other with blushes and thick necks, and it was difficult to unify their opinions for a while.

   In Taxa, which was stabbed by Zhang Liao, there is not enough prestige to force these small states to unify their opinions.

  Finally, the leader of the Shache Kingdom put forward a suggestion, saying that Master Busen, an eminent monk of the Shache Kingdom, should make the final decision.

Master Busen is the inheritor of the secret scroll, not only the eminent monk of the Buddha, but also a witness and recorder of the history of the Western Regions. It is said that his inheritance came from a certain mysterious state in the earliest Western Regions, but no one knows which one it is …

  However, the inheritance of Master Busen existed a long time ago, which is certain.

  This is a war waged in the name of Buddha, and the opinion of Master Busen, who can represent Buddha, is of course very important.

  Everyone thought for a while and agreed.

  After all, most herdsmen came here because they believed in Buddhism.

Regarding this conclusion, Tagusa frowned a little, but he couldn't say anything for a while, because after all, he boasted too much about the Buddha before. When it comes to whether or not to slap your face, aren't those low-level herdsmen who believe in Buddhism going to make a fuss?

  After much deliberation, Tagusa decided to talk to the eminent monk Busen first.

  The eminent monk Busen did not follow the ordinary people of the coalition army, but fell behind alone, escorted by several monks.

  When he walked into Master Busen's tent, Takesa couldn't help being startled, because in the middle of the tent, the enshrined body turned out to be a dead body.

  A mummy.

  It seems to be painted on the outside, or something else, so that the mummy is not decomposed, but maintains a cross-legged and hunched posture. At first glance, it looks more like a monkey than a person.

  『Why don’t you worship? 』

   While Tagusa was in a daze, an old voice suddenly sounded behind him, which startled Tagusa.

  Taksa turned his head and found that the eminent monk Busen had stood behind him at some point.

  『This is a Buddha in the flesh...』 Busen bowed to the mummified corpse.

  Takuza shook his eyebrows. There is generally no problem asking him to worship a carved Buddha statue, but it seems a little weird psychologically to worship a mummy, and he can't continue to worship.

  Bu Sen said in a steady tone, "You came to me. Your subordinates came here a while ago, and now you are here in person. What is the reason?" 』

  『Master Gao Ming...』Takesa nodded and said, he pondered for a while, 『Master, this Buddha...is supposed to be compassionate? 』

  Bu Sen nodded slowly, "Yes. 』

  『Does the master have any understanding of the situation in front of him? ’ Taxa asked.

  Bu Sen replied: "I dare not say that I know everything, but generally I know some... What do you want to say?" 』

  『The Han people wreaked havoc in Kucha, killed the people, and burned down the royal city... Now in the Western Regions, a large number of people have been oppressed and mutilated by the Han people. It is really miserable... Do you know this, Master? 』

"I know. ’ Busen said calmly.

  『Look at Qiuci City not far away, the Han people robbed gold and silver, captured cattle and sheep, and committed countless evils! The former pearl of Kucha is now in ruins! 』

"I know. 』

  『Right here, the Han people used the most cruel means to kill the King of Kucha, and cut off his head, so that he could die in peace...』

"I know. 』

  『Not only in Kucha, the Han people also carried out appalling massacres in many places, massacring civilians indiscriminately, blood staining the river red, innocent souls crying day and night on this land...』

"I know. 』

  From the beginning to the end, Busen's tone was very calm, calm as if Tagusa was not talking about life and death, but was talking about the sun rising and setting today, the air is good and so on.

  Takesa couldn't help but waited for Busen, thinking in his heart that the old man was crazy, "Master...you, are you okay?" You said... you know everything? 』

  Bu Sen nodded.

  Takesa's eyes widened, "This...do you think these things are... normal? Shouldn't the Buddha be compassionate? You heard and saw these tragic scenes, and you know the ruthless aggression of the Han people on the people, how can you...so, so...just "know"? 』

  Bu Sen sighed slightly, "It's true... I'm not indifferent to this, but what do you want me to do? 』

Taxa hesitated for a while, and decided to make it clear with Busen, "Master, you are the representative of the Buddha, and the people trust you. When the people are invaded by the Han people and bullied so cruelly by the Han people, are you the master?" Should we stand up and save these people who have been invaded by the Han people, and resist the Han people? Drive the Han people out of this piece of land, and restore the light here! 』

   After Taxa finished speaking, he looked at Busen. He felt that he had fully demonstrated his outstanding eloquence, which was more brilliant than those noble gentlemen of the Guishuang Parliament.

Busen looked at Taxa calmly, "If I didn't misunderstand the meaning of the general... the general hopes that I can stand up, resist the Han people, drive away the Han people, kill the Han people, and kill the Han people just like the Han people kill our people." The people of the dead? 』

"Um? ”Takesa suddenly felt a little tricky, “How can this be the same? We represent the light, and we are on the side of the Buddha, while the Han people are dark, and we are on the side of the devil! We are the sun! Love all beings! The Han people are the night! Devouring life! We are righteous! Han people are evil! This is different! totally different! 』

  Busen looked at Taxa quietly.

  Takesa stopped his generous words, fell silent, and then stared at Busen in the same way...
