The mobility of the Tianzhu cavalry in the desert was greatly limited, which caused them to not be able to quickly get rid of the attack of the Jin army's camel cavalry, and at the same time, they could not rush into the Jin army's camp and fight the Jin army at close range. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In a short period of time, the Tianzhu cavalry suffered great losses, but failed to inflict much damage on the Jin camel cavalry, which surprised the Tianzhu generals and completely gave up the attack and fled backwards.

Song Cheng naturally would not let the Tianzhu cavalry escape smoothly, he saw that the Tianzhu soldiers and horses had lost nearly half of them and began to flee, and immediately ordered an all-out pursuit, surrounded all the Tianzhu cavalry and gathered to annihilate them.

In the desert, the camel cavalry had the advantage of speed, so they quickly caught up with the Tianzhu cavalry, and surrounded the Tianzhu cavalry from both flanks, and then immediately launched a fierce attack.

The Jin army and the Tianzhu soldiers and horses are all elite, but the Jin army is stronger and occupies a great advantage in strength, while the Tianzhu cavalry is already demoralized, so the advantage of the Jin army has become very obvious, and the Tianzhu cavalry will be defeated after a fight.

However, in order to reduce the possible losses of the camel cavalry, Song Cheng deliberately opened up an opening, so that some of the greedy Tianzhu cavalry could escape.

This trick really worked, and the Tianzhu cavalry did not want to die in vain, so they all flocked to the exit, so that the resistance suffered by the Jin army was greatly weakened, and the casualties were naturally even less.

After galloping for more than ten miles, part of the Tianzhu cavalry finally escaped from the desert and quickly rushed to the camp of Shaxi to avoid the pursuit of the Jin army's camel cavalry.

The camel cavalry had a great speed advantage in the desert, but there was no such advantage on flat land, so although Song Cheng personally led all his troops and horses to pursue the remnants of the Tianzhu cavalry, he could not catch up.

The news of the defeat of the Tianzhu cavalry soon spread to the coalition camp, and after learning the news, the Tuyuhun king Shaxi immediately led his soldiers and horses to evacuate, as for the rescue of the Tianzhu soldiers and horses, he never thought about it, after all, the defeat of the Tianzhu cavalry corps was completely caused by the arrogance of the Tianzhu generals, and it had nothing to do with him, and he could not lose his soldiers and horses in order to rescue the Tianzhu cavalry, and even if he led the troops to rescue the Tianzhu cavalry, it may not be effective, after all, He had seen the combat strength of Song Cheng's army, and he did not have the confidence and strength to defeat Song Cheng's army.

The plan formulated by Tuyuhun King Shaxi to cut off the grain route of the Jin army was a complete failure, not only that, but the Tianzhu cavalry corps also suffered heavy losses, in this case, he naturally did not dare to return to Tianzhu, so as not to be sanctioned by the Tianzhu Sea Protector, he thought about it, and decided to move north, and crossed the middle of the river to the grasslands further north to survive.

Before leaving, Sha Xi received a shocking news that the powerful Persian Empire had submitted to the Great Jin Dynasty and was resisting the attack of the Roman Empire, and the main army of the Great Jin Dynasty had begun to attack the Tianzhu Empire, so he would send the Song Cheng Legion, a small partial division, to rescue Tocharo.

This information is not bad news for Sha Xi, at this moment, the Great Jin, Persia, Rome, Tianzhu and other countries are all fighting hard, and the soldiers and horses under his command can be evacuated more calmly.

The Tuyuhun soldiers and horses left the camp and evacuated due north, so when the remaining cavalry of Tianzhu broke and fled to the camp, they saw only an empty camp, and all the important materials were taken away by the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses.

The Tianzhu generals gritted their teeth when they saw this scene, and the Tuyuhun people let them work in front of them, but they had already escaped, and this situation put them in an extremely disadvantageous situation.

Although there are less than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, they also need food and grass supplies, camp tents and various daily necessities, all of which are no longer there, and the Tianzhu generals don't know how to deal with the situation in front of them.

The Song Cheng army behind was not far away, and if he didn't evacuate, he would only have to surrender and fight hard, and the Tianzhu general had to order to abandon the camp and flee due south.

The Song Cheng army of the Jin army successfully defeated the Tianzhu cavalry and occupied the camp of Broken Xi, but Broken Xi took a step earlier and escaped the catastrophe.

"General, the Tuyuhun soldiers and horses have fled to the north, but the Tianzhu soldiers and horses have fled to the south, what should we do, divide the troops to pursue, or only chase one side." A subordinate general asked.

"General, Tuyuhun has 20,000 soldiers and horses, and Tianzhu has less than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and pursuing Tuyuhun soldiers and horses can achieve greater results." A subordinate general opened his mouth to suggest.

Song Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Let's pursue it south!" In this way, our army can join the king's soldiers and horses in the near future, so as to jointly attack the Tianzhu Kingdom, after all, there are more than 100,000 elite soldiers and horses in Tianzhu State, and the pressure on the king is relatively great, and Tuyuhun is only 20,000 troops, and he can't set off any storms, so let him go. ”

"Yes, General." The generals felt that what Song Cheng said was reasonable, so they immediately agreed.

After a brief rest, Song Cheng's army began to march south to form a flanking attack with the Hua'an army against the Tianzhu Kingdom.

####

In the early morning, 60,000 soldiers and horses of the Jin army and 20,000 Persian troops set up an offensive formation outside Fulousha City, and as long as Hua'an gave the order to attack, the 80,000 army would immediately launch an attack on Fulousha City.

Seeing that the Jin army was about to attack the city, the general Tianzhu who defended the city was very nervous, and ordered his soldiers and horses to prepare for war with all their might, and must block the attack of the enemy army outside the city.

"Your Majesty, the city of Fulousha is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the last general feels that it is impossible to break through the city with only Persian soldiers and horses, and when necessary, our army can help in the war." Wang San looked at the Fulou Shacheng in front of him, and said with a positive color.

Hua An nodded and said softly, "Let the Persians attack first!" After a large amount of supplies of the enemy defending the city have been consumed, and both sides are showing fatigue, our army will immediately attack, so that it is very likely to break through the city in one fell swoop. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the last will understand." Wang San responded.

Hua An looked at the time and ordered: "Beat the drum and march, let the Persians immediately start attacking the city." ”

"Beat the drums and march, and the vanguard immediately attack the city." The general gave the military order.

......The drums of the Jin army's attack sounded instantly, and the forward Persian horses immediately launched a fierce attack on Fulou Shacheng when they heard the order.

In order to prevent the Persian soldiers from turning around and fleeing, Hua An asked 10,000 Jin soldiers to supervise the battle in the rear with crossbows, and shoot the deserters as soon as they found them, so that the Persian soldiers could only charge forward and not retreat.

The Persian army attacked relatively stubbornly, but the Tianzhu soldiers defending the city were not weak, so the battle showed a state of glue, both sides were constantly suffering casualties, of course, as the attacking side of the Persian army suffered much greater losses.

In the course of the battle, many Persian soldiers did flee backwards because they were afraid, but they were soon shot and killed by the Jin army's warlords, thus preventing the possibility of more Persian soldiers fleeing backwards.

After nearly half an hour of attack, the Persian army of 20,000 troops not only failed to break through Fulou Shacheng, but also failed to climb the city wall.

"Your Majesty, the Tianzhu army can't break through the city at all, do you want their most elite war elephant army to attack?" A Jin army general asked.

Hua An hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, the War Elephant Legion is used to fight against the Tianzhu War Elephant, how can it be used to attack the city?" Since the Persian soldiers and horses cannot break through the city, let our army attack. ”

"Command, Your Majesty! Our officers and men are ready to attack. Wang San hurriedly said.

Hua An nodded, pointed to Fulou Shacheng, and said: "There are twenty or thirty thousand enemy troops in the city, and the city is relatively tall, if it is a frontal attack, the loss is too great, and it is necessary to attack from many sides at the same time, so that it is possible to break through the city in one fell swoop, and pass the order down, let the soldiers of our army detour back to the surroundings of Fulou Shacheng, relying on crossbows and ladders, and launch the most fierce attack on Fulou Shacheng from all directions." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San and other generals hurriedly responded.

Subsequently, the main force of the 60,000 Jin army immediately divided into 40,000 and went to the surroundings of Fulousha City, and under the cover of the continuous fire of the repeater crossbows, the soldiers carried the ladder to the city wall.

Most of the Tianzhu army in the city was attracted by the Persian army in front, and did not expect the Jin army to suddenly come to this hand, for this lack of sufficient preparation, the Tianzhu generals who were responsible for guarding Fulousha could not command the battle in all directions at the same time, for this reason, it seemed a little flustered, when he conveyed the orders from various places in turn, the Jin soldiers had already climbed the city wall, and gathered more and more on the city wall, and soon completely controlled the situation.

After capturing the city walls, the Jin soldiers immediately opened the city gates so that the main forces outside the city could quickly enter the city, and at the same time, they immediately killed the important positions inside the city to occupy these important strategic points as soon as possible.

The Jin army suddenly attacked the city from all directions, and launched a fierce offensive against the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in the city, which surprised the Tianzhu generals who were responsible for commanding the operation, the city has been breached, and the important positions inside and outside the city were soon occupied by the Jin army, he and his soldiers no longer have the ability to turn the tide, waiting for them to either die in battle or surrender, in addition, there is no third possibility.

"General, the city has been breached, and we are surrounded." A Tianzhu general said in horror.

The Tianzhu Lord General frowned and sighed, and said with a straight face: "There is no way, we can only surrender, let the soldiers give up resistance and surrender to the Jin army." ”

"Yes, General." The Tianzhu Department replied helplessly and immediately went to prepare.

The soldiers and horses of the Jin army broke through Fulou Shacheng in a very short period of time, which made Hua'an and the Jin generals under his command all very excited, after all, Fulou Shacheng is the capital of Gandhara Kingdom, and the destruction of Fulou Shacheng means that the entire Gandhara Kingdom is completely controlled by the Jin army, and the next step is to directly attack the Tianzhu Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, the defenders of Tianzhu have surrendered." A Jin army general looked in the direction of Fulou Shacheng and said excitedly.

Hearing this, Hua An looked up in the direction of Fulou Shacheng, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the Tianzhu soldiers and horses really surrendered, it is no wonder that at this moment, the Jin army has completely controlled Fulou Shacheng, and the Tianzhu soldiers and horses have lost the way to escape, if they do not surrender to the Jin army, there is only a dead end.

The Persian army that was attacking the city saw the Tianzhu army on the head of the city raise the flag and surrender, and was stunned at first, and then saw that the city gate was opened, and a Jin army and horses soon appeared on the city wall, and the banner of the Jin army on the city was replaced by the banner of the Jin army.

This means that the Jin army has broken through the city, which made the Persian soldiers in charge of the main attack very surprised, after all, they have not been able to break through the Fulou Shacheng with great effort, and the Jin army has just broken the city, this strength gap is too big, at least in the eyes of the Persian generals, the strength of the Jin army is too strong, much stronger than their Persia.

Now that Fulousha City has been breached, the next job is naturally to enter the city and centralize the surrendered Tianzhu soldiers and horses.

Hua An and some of his soldiers and horses entered Fulousha City, and immediately escorted all the surrendered Tianzhu soldiers and horses to a proper position in the city, and sent a thousand men and horses to guard them so that they could not rebel.

"Your Majesty, there are nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses in Tianzhu, and all of them have surrendered." Wang San said excitedly.

Hua An smiled and said, "Take a good look at these surrendered Tianzhu soldiers, these soldiers and horses will be of great use in the future." ”

"The king's meaning is that these Tianzhu troops will be driven by my Great Jin just like the Persian surrender of soldiers and horses." Wang San asked softly.

Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, since the Persian soldiers and horses can be the vanguard of our army, why can't Tianzhu's surrendered soldiers and horses?" However, whether it is Tianzhu or Persia, they are not the people of my Great Jin, so they are always not reliable enough, if they want them to serve my Great Jin wholeheartedly, they must be mixed, so that a group of soldiers and horses, both Tianzhu and Persia, even, there are Tocharian countries, the countries in the river region and other countries of the soldiers and horses, so that these soldiers from different countries are grouped in an army, will not form a joint force, as long as the generals of the Great Jin are properly controlled, You can control this auxiliary army forever and let them serve as the vanguard of my Great Jin Siege Strategy. ”

Obviously, the Central Asian region is too vast, if such a vast land is all controlled by the Great Jin soldiers, the soldiers and horses needed are too many, and Hua'an naturally cannot deploy a huge number of soldiers and horses in the Central Asian region, so if you want to control the small area of Central Asia, you must have an auxiliary army with a large number of men and horses, and these surrendered soldiers and horses are good auxiliary armies, at least, from today's Persian army to attack Fulousha City, you can prove this.

However, the hearts of the Persian soldiers yearn for Persia, and the Tianzhu soldiers are more willing to be loyal to Tianzhu, if they are not mixed, once the main force of the Jin army leaves Central Asia, they are very likely to rebel and return to their respective countries, so as to gradually drive the power of the Great Jin out of Central Asia, and if the surrender of these countries is mixed, this problem can be well solved.
