Chapter 694: A Powerful Coalition Army
At this moment, the Uighurs were braver than ever, their blood was boiling, and everyone was red-eyed and clenched their weapons.
The sound of shouting and killing was earth-shattering.
They want revenge, and they have to prove themselves!
For the Uighur soldiers, there was only one simple logic, the great cannibals were ferocious, and they were only more ferocious!
The soldiers on both sides approached quickly, collided with each other, swords and guns facing each other, and the sound of killing was deafening.
In just a short moment, hundreds of people were knocked to the ground, including Black Khan's cavalry and Uighur men.
On the battlefield, what it means to fall from a horse, everyone knows it...... No one cares about the fallen soldiers, their attention is on their opponents, constantly waving their weapons, slashing and slashing, and shouting with emotion.
Swords and soldiers are opposite, the purest battle, flesh and blood fighting, life and death battle, there is no ambiguity, life is disappearing every moment.
The Uighurs were strong and numerous, but it was undeniable that they were inferior to the Black Khan, and the price paid for a sneak attack from behind was almost one-to-one.
But no one could blame them, and every Uighur soldier was rushing forward to kill, even in the face of swords and guns, and there was no flinch!
"Good!"
Ye Zhong gave the Uighurs a high score in his heart, after this battle, as long as he trained a little and put on better equipment, this was an iron-blooded soldier comparable to the party!
Ye Zhong was in good spirits, and he couldn't let the Uighurs compare.
Zhou Bing's phalanx has been deformed under the impact of the big cannibal, and the lines on both sides are concave, forming a spindle shape, if the big cannibal adds a little more strength, it seems that it can break through.
Ye Zhong looked at the battlefield, the rate of fire of the musket was still not fast enough, especially after continuous shooting, the barrel became hot, the residual gunpowder increased, and it needed to be cleaned more carefully, and there was also damage to the gun, plus the big cannibal bow and crossbow, Zhou Bing was not as calm as at the beginning, and there were casualties.
In the face of the attack of firearms, in the case of heavy losses in the early stage, the big cannibal still fought to the death and attacked frantically, which was never seen in the previous opponents.
It makes sense that the eldest brother cares so much about the big cannibal.
In that case, let's give you a taste!
Ye Zhong waved the command flag in his hand, and there were a hundred soldiers, quickly pushing the vehicle and blocking the weak point of the battle line.
The big cannibal cavalry concentrated all their strength, there were hundreds of people, rushing madly, the guns were constantly ringing, and some people fell off their horses one after another, but these big cannibals didn't care, they already felt that the firepower of the Zhou soldiers was much weaker, gritted their teeth, and rushed over, not only the victory was theirs, but also the firearms that were more powerful than the Greek fire would also be theirs!
Hero!
We're going to be heroes!
The Great Cannibal became more and more ferocious, and it was less than thirty steps away from the Great Zhou Army Formation, which was a very short time. The musketeers of the Zhou soldiers did not have time to reload, and they scattered and fled.
Finally broke through!
The Great Cannibal continued forward, and just then, a row of carriages appeared in front of them, and someone was on one knee with a dragon-shaped vent on his shoulder.
"Put!"
Fire dragons, spitting out!
The blazing flames jumped out ten zhang away, and none of the big food cavalry who rushed forward could not run, they were all engulfed in flames, and those in front of them turned into black charcoal in an instant, and those who were a little farther away also burned their tracheas and lungs because of the inhalation of hot gas, and fell off the horse's back, spurting black blood from the corners of their nostrils and mouths, and fell to the ground.
It's Greek fire!
No, more vicious than Greek fire!
The big cannibal was finally frightened, and in the middle of a brief pause, the Zhou soldiers on both flanks pressed over, and their muskets formed crossfire, like cutting wheat, and pieces of men and horses fell.
In the depression of the phalanx, more than three hundred cannibals were killed and killed, and since the beginning of the war, seven or eight hundred people have died in front of the Great Zhou array.
The remaining Great Eclipse cavalry was no longer arrogant, they panicked and retreated.
"Chase!"
Ye Zhong decisively ordered, the soldiers and horses of the Great Zhou Dynasty pressed quickly, the guns did not stop, rockets, fire oil, all kinds of weapons, and there were all kinds of means, where the big cannibals were concentrated, they would give them a wave of attacks.
The Great Cannibals became more and more frightened, and they did not dare to gather together, so they had to flee in all directions. They scurried around like headless flies, disrupting the formation of the Black Khan cavalry again.
The enraged Black Khan cavalry even brandished their weapons and aimed them at the Great Cannibals.
Former allies, cannibalizing each other, are also really interesting.
At this time, Murong Yan had also finished recuperating, and his wounds were simply treated, so he carried his knife and beckoned the remaining Uighurs to join the battle.
The inside layer is Ye Zhong, the outside is Agu, and the outside is Murong Yan, everyone worked together, and after a fierce battle for half a day, a total of nearly 8,000 cavalry were killed, of which more than 3,000 were big cannibals, and the others were Black Khan cavalry.
When they set out, they had 10,000 horses, and in the trek they lost more than 10 percent, and some of the attacking Guizi died, and all the rest were wiped out.
Ye Zhong found some official documents from the Black Khan's generals, and he finally figured out that this coalition army was sent by the Black Khan King to form an alliance with the Uighurs as a flank to attack the grain routes of the Great Zhou.
He had a good idea, but it was too far away and too long, and by the time they got into action, the situation on the battlefield had changed, Gaochang had fallen, and the Uighur army had retreated.
The arrogant cannibals, who were already opposed to the alliance, saw that the Uighurs were so vulnerable, they took them even more seriously, slaughtering the turtles and killing them wantonly.
They never dreamed that the Uighurs, whom they despised were, would wipe them out!
Agu and Murong Yan led the soldiers to cut off the heads of all the Great Cannibals and Black Khans, layer by layer, like a sand dune.
Kyokan!
After piling up, they killed dozens of captured war horses, and wrote hideous characters on the ground with horse blood: Blood debt and blood repayment!
After doing all this, they gathered the bodies of their dead brothers with tears in their eyes.
More than 5,000 people died at the hands of the combined forces of Great Food and Black Khan.
Without the help of the Great Zhou, even a 20,000-strong army of the Uighurs alone might not have been able to defeat 8,000.
Murong Yan stared at the corners of his eyes and roared loudly, he is also a human, why is he not an opponent of others, what is the difference between us Uighurs? Lack of courage, or lack of experience?
Or rather...... We're still too weak!
"Ye, General Ye, can we get a musket?"
Murong Yan stared at the musket obsessively, as if he had seen a fairy, and he wanted to swallow it in one gulp. With muskets, they should not be afraid of the big cannibals.
"The musket will become the standard configuration of the Zhou soldiers in the future, and you will naturally be able to obtain it if you return to the Great Zhou. But muskets alone are not enough to be a strong army, you must know what to fight for, and for whom? ”
Murong Yan was puzzled.
Ye Zhong said with a smile: "Just like this time, the big cannibal slaughtered the turtles, you avenged your compatriots and protected your homeland, this is how it should be!" This time, all the brothers who died in the battle, each family was granted 200 acres of land, and the court would not treat the warrior's family badly! ”
Speaking of other things, there are still some illusory things, but 200 acres of land are real.
Ordinary people only have 100 acres, and if there are many people and less land, they must be evenly distributed according to the actual situation, and they will not get 100 acres at all.
But serving the country in the military is different, and there is no discount on the real 200 acres of land.
Be a Da Zhou person and fight for Da Zhou, the benefits are in front of you.
In the past, the Uighurs were still tribal, fighting, killing, looting, and most of them ended up in the hands of the chiefs, who could only pick up some soup and water.
Wanting to own your own pasture and farmland is a fantasy.
Da Zhou is really fairer.
On the way back to Gaochang, the 1,000 family members and the soldiers of the Great Zhou, including Ye Zhong, kept telling about the national policy of the Great Zhou.
By the time they returned to Gaochang, almost all of the Uighurs were willing to serve the Great Zhou.
More than 100,000 more at once!
Even Ye Hua couldn't sit still.
He immediately ordered to select 30,000 elites from them, plus Li Guangrui's men and horses, and went to Shazhou together to join Chai Rong.
The task of garrisoning Gaochang was handed over to Yang Ye, even if the Black Khanate re-entered the Kou, with Yang Ye's ability, it was enough to deal with it.
In order to show respect, Ye Hua deliberately appointed Agu as the envoy of the Gaochang Jiedu and concurrently served as the protector of the Northern Court, while Yang Ye was the deputy envoy of the Jiedu and the deputy protector of the capital.
Of course, as a fierce general of the Great Zhou, the power of Gaochang is still in the hands of Yang Ye, but Ye Hua's arrangement is still considerate enough.
Agu was grateful, he swore an oath to be loyal to the Great Zhou forever, and told Murong Yan that there were still 30,000 warriors who were lucky enough to go to Shazhou.
Obey the general's order and die without regrets!
Including the families of the warriors, they came to see them off, and they danced briskly and agilely, holding sweet wine, and practiced it for their children.
The excitement of the scene was unprecedented.
Ye Huadu was quite moved, and full of blessings from hundreds of thousands of Uighur people, the army rushed to Shazhou after a ten-day trek.
By the time we arrived in Shazhou, the city had been surrounded by barracks, and as far as the eye could see, there were barracks everywhere...... Youzhou, Songzhou, Yanzhou, Damingfu, Jingzhaofu, Luoyangfu, Qingzhou, Jiaozhou, Yizhou, Jinyang...... The forbidden army towns that can be counted have all sent men and horses, and all of them are the elite of the elite.
Coupled with the forbidden army of the Great Zhou, the small Shazhou gathered an army of 150,000.
Behind these horses are as many as a million people, from Chang'an to Liangzhou, and then to Shazhou, on this road, there are more than 100,000 slaves building roads, and hundreds of thousands of livestock transporting supplies.
Even the Great Zhou court, which was accustomed to seeing mountains of gold and silver, was also frightened by this conquest.
Chai Rong and Ye Hua walked in the poplar forest, "Ye Hua, how many people do we have this time?" ”
"The headquarters is 150,000, the Uighurs and the party are more than 50,000 combined, plus the defenders of Khotan, there should be a total of more than 200,000 people." Ye Hua easily reported the number, "Your Majesty, the power we used this time is unprecedented, enough to tear any opponent to pieces!" ”
"Hahaha!" Chai Rong laughed loudly, "Since the champion Hou Du said so, then set off tomorrow, and the whole army will go to Khotan to fight to the death with the big cannibals!" Complete the mission that Shengtang has not completed! ”
