Chapter 143 Drive the wolf to devour!(2/2)
Next to the King of Xiqiang, the high priest's face was covered by a black robe. After a long time, the high priest's voice came.
"This is not a divine thunder given by the immortal, it is just a weapon for the devil to fool people."
The Prince of Xiangli usually respects and believes in the words of the high priest, but today, he has some doubts in his heart.
Is this a fool's weapon?
But there are no weapons that fool people can make a thousand cavalry steam instantly?
The Prince of Xiangli didn't want to continue this topic, so he bowed to the King of Xiqiang again and asked, "Father, what should we do now?"
How to do it?
The King of Western Qiang frowned. The Han people had such powerful weapons, how could they fight against the enemy? Not to mention the enemy, it was impossible to break through now.
The King of Xiqiang suddenly felt a similar fear to the patriarch in his heart, fear of the Han people.
Could it be that guy Uget's words are right? The Han people are really so scary?
While fearing, the King of Xiqiang also had doubts in his heart, why did he not have such a magical weapon when he fought against the Han army before, but instead he only had such a magical weapon when he ran away?
Could it be that there are any restrictions on the use of this weapon?
Although the King of the Western Qiang knew about conspiracies, how could he understand the relationship between Cao Chong and the Liangzhou family? If he had figured out the joints, he would naturally not be confused about Cao Chong's use of gunpowder at this time.
After thinking for a while, the King of Xiqiang said to Prince Xiangli: "The Han people have strange weapons, there is no need to face him. This grassland is boundless, I don't believe that these tens of thousands of people can block us!"
The words of the King of the Western Qiang are the truth.
The north of Wuwei is full of grasslands, with flat terrain. If you want to form a general's defense line for a hundred miles, it is impossible. As long as you reach fast enough, you may not be able to rush out.
The army of the King of Xiqiang began to transfer.
Wang Shuang was only two miles away from the King of Xiqiang, so he naturally saw their movements clearly.
"The entire army moved, followed by this group of Qiang and Hu mixed men."
With the order of Wang Shuang, the wall suddenly turned and headed in the same direction as the King of Xiqiang.
If the King of Xiqiang's army was fast enough, he would naturally be able to break out of the defense line of Wang Shuang, but unfortunately, his speed was not so fast.
As for the reason, of course it was his spoils.
Among them are many population slaves, gold, silver, jewelry, food, cattle and sheep.
It would be strange if such a team is fast.
The King of Xiqiang obviously knew this reason. If he kept doing this, he would not be able to break out of the encirclement.
Do you want to give up these things?
but...
This was exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of warriors.
But if you don’t give up these things, how can you rush out?
But in other words, if you lose these things, what's the point even if you rush out?
I lost all my money!
He spent his life of a hundred thousand sons in vain, but came to Liangzhou for a walk? Then he let his wife and children in Yuezhicheng continue to endure hunger and let the tribe die of hunger?
No!
This is not what I want to see.
However, being unable to break out of this encirclement head-on does not mean that I have no way to go, and I still have a way to go!
Since we cannot leave Liangzhou from Xiu Tucheng Road, why not leave Liangzhou through Jiuquan County Dunhuang County?
Thinking of this, the King of Xiqiang thought that he had a son who was robbed in Dunhuang County.
In this way, when I went to the direction of Jiuquan in Dunhuang, I had someone to accept it.
If you choose this way, you will save the spoils and reduce losses. On the way to Jiuquan and Dunhuang, you may be able to add more spoils.
After thinking of this, the King of Xiqiang stopped the team again and looked at Prince Xiangli with his eyes.
"Xiangli, you bring five thousand cavalry here to stop the Han people. If those Han people dare to come and pursue them, you will deal with him and give me time to retreat."
When Prince Xiangli heard the order of the King of Xiqiang, he nodded, but he was still a little scared in his heart.
After seeing those divine thunders, the prince in Xiangli couldn't do it anymore if he didn't want to be afraid.
After a while of dispatch, the troops of the Xiqiang King were divided into two, and the large army headed to the east under the leadership of the Xiqiang King. That direction was the direction of Jiuquan County.
A small number of cavalry remained in place.
When the King of Xiqiang army acted like this, Wang Shuang looked at Yang Xiu and asked, "Sir, what are we going to do now?"
Yang Xiu smiled and said, "General, I am not a gentleman. Just call me Yang Xiu. As for what we want to do now, we will do nothing."
Do nothing?
"Watch these Qianghu escape in vain?"
After seeing the power of gunpowder, Wang Shuang looked at the dark Qiang and Hu army in front of him, and saw it as military achievements.
Yang Xiu's lips curled up, and he asked with a smile: "Do you know where this army is heading?"
In what direction did you go?
Wang Shuangding glanced at him and said, "East."
Yang Xiu shook his head, a little surprised at the big guy in front of him. After rolling his eyes slightly, Yang Xiu asked again: "What is in the east of Wuwei?"
Hearing Yang Xiu's words, Wang Shuang's face showed a sudden enlightenment.
"To the east of Wuwei is Jiuquan Dunhuang. What does sir mean to drive these Qianghu to Jiuquan Dunhuang County?"
Yang Xiu smiled, but nodded.
"The King of Xiqiang is greedy and is not satisfied with Wuwei's harvest and is heading towards Dunhuang County, Jiuquan, so how can it be strange?"
After hearing this, Wang Shuang immediately knew what Yang Xiu meant, and a hint of cunning appeared on his vicious face.
"But sir, since we are going to drive these people to Dunhuang County, Jiuquan, then we can eat the thousands of people who came to cover the evacuation of the Xiqiang King, right?"
Yang Xiu looked at the five thousand cavalry led by Prince Xiangli and said with a smile: "Of course, but we only have three thousand cavalry, but we can't keep them."
"If we don't have this cover mission, we will naturally not be able to keep them, but they have to cover the retreat of the Xiqiang King, and even if they use infantry, they can be surrounded."
The cavalry defeats the infantry, but there is one premise, that is, the cavalry has a charge distance. If it is besieged, the cavalry will be restrained by the infantry.
"If this happens, you can give the general five thousand more military achievements."
Wang Shuang didn't hide it, and smiled with his hands touching the back of his head.
"Of course half of these five thousand military achievements are from the gentleman."
Yang Xiu shook his head.
"I don't want military merits."
Wang Shuang has seen many strange people like Yang Xiu. He did not say anything other than a smile to Yang Xiu, who did not want military merit.
After obtaining Yang Xiu's permission, Wang Shuang led the infantry to surround him.
Cao Chong's army has more infantry and fewer cavalry. Of course, if the proportion is included, the proportion of cavalry in Cao Chong's army is considered high, but in Liangzhou, there are still too few cavalry for the Qiang and Hu.
If gunpowder is used to deal with these Qiang and Hu cavalry, these five thousand cavalry are naturally not worth worrying, but in this way, the war horses they sit down will follow them.
Wang Shuang valued the war horse under their crotch.
Amid Wang Shuang's shouts, this war of destined result began.
In order to cover the King of Xiqiang, the cavalry did a small-scale run, but they did not dare to leave this place after all. On the contrary, they had to attack Wang Shuang's infantry.
The first few waves of attacks also caused a certain degree of damage to Wang Shuang's army, but when the infantry surrounded him, the cavalry had no room for additional space, and their power suddenly dropped by more than one level.
then...
The massacre began.
In the end, the prince of Xiangli, with his personal guards' desperate protection, escaped from the encirclement of Wangshuang's infantry with more than a hundred cavalry, and the others were all trapped in the encirclement of infantry.
Although they can still shout in the encirclement, it is only a matter of time before death.
However, in the eyes of the Prince of Xiangli, the casualties of these 5,000 people are not meaningless.
At least he delayed his father for half an hour. After such a period of delay, I think his father has gone far away and there is no danger.
Moreover, the Prince of Xiangli was still grateful that he could escape from the heavens and did not have to encounter the divine thunder again.
Compared with the glory of the prince in Xiangli, Wang Shuang was looking at the horse in front of him.
With these horses, it is no problem to form another five thousand cavalry.
To be honest, although the Qiang and Hu offenders caused huge losses to Wuwei, Cao Chong also seized a large number of war horses. This has to be said to be one of the benefits of the Qiang and Hu offenders.
For Cao Chong, the benefits of Qiang and Hu offenses are far more than this.
Of course, this requires the cooperation of the King of Xi Qiang. Today, Xi Qiang is very obedient... I want to talk about "{e?}" with more like-minded people, follow "Youdu Literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find friends~
