Chapter 1156: The Two Armies Meet
The main force of the Jin army was more than 100,000, but the soldiers and horses under Gupta II were only 30,000, so Hua'an decided to lead only 60,000 troops to conquer Gupta II, while the remaining soldiers and horses stayed in Hua's city to maintain the absolute stability of Hua's city.

The army rushed to the direction of Benga City at a relatively fast speed, and arrived at a position not far from the outskirts of Benga City three days later, the army set up camp to rest, and prepared to attack Benga City on the second day, and in order to understand the defense of Benga City, Hua'an sent a large number of scouts to explore the situation around Benjia City, so as to know themselves and their opponents.
When the Jin army arrived on the outskirts of Benga City, they were naturally immediately discovered by the scouts under Gupta II, and immediately reported to Gupta II.
"Your Majesty, the 60,000-strong Jin army has arrived not far outside the city, and it is estimated that it will launch an attack on Benga City early tomorrow morning." A general said seriously.
Gupta II frowned, and asked Zhengse: "How is the city defense, can it resist the attack of the Jin army?" ”
"Your Majesty the King can rest assured, the soldiers and civilians in the city are building city defenses day and night, and the current Benga city is enough to make the Jin army pay a heavy price, and twice the strength of the Jin army should not be able to break through the city." A general said confidently.
"That's right, Your Majesty, as long as our army is vigilant, the Jin army will not be able to break through the city of Benga, but the Jin army is extremely cunning, and we must be careful not to use their tricks." Another general said cautiously.
Gupta II nodded and said softly: "Since the city defense is strong enough, this king can rest assured, but the army must be vigilant and must not be careless, so as not to be attacked by the Jin army like Hua's city." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, the last general understands." The generals responded with a straight face.
Subsequently, Gupta II personally inspected the city and stood on the city wall, looking at the Jin army camp in the distance outside the city.
Because Gupta II's control over Benjia City was extremely strict, for this reason, the Jin army scouts had no chance to blend into the city at all, they could only observe quietly outside the city, and even climb to the treetops outside the city to reconnoiter the situation in the city, so the reconnaissance effect will naturally not be very good, but at least you can understand some basic conditions in the city, so as not to make the Jin army blind.
After finding out some basic information, the Jin army scouts immediately returned to the camp and reported the situation to Hua'an.
"Your Majesty, the city of Benga is well defended, and it seems that this Gupta II does have some skills." Wang San said convincingly.
"Your Majesty, no matter how tightly defended Benga City is, it is impossible to block the attack of our army, and it is only a matter of time before Benga City is broken." Song Cheng said confidently.
Hua An nodded with a smile, and said: "Benjia City is well defended, if you want to reduce casualties, you must use thunderbolts on a large scale, and a certain number of thunderbolts must be built." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we have brought a lot of thunderbolts, and we have also brought hundreds of sets of core accessories for thunderbolts, and we can build 300 thunderbolts overnight." A Jin army general Zhengse said.
Hua An nodded and said, "You go and prepare immediately, and build three hundred thunderbolts before tomorrow morning." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general accepted the order and immediately went to prepare.
The corners of Hua An's mouth moved slightly, and he said disdainfully: "Gupta II delusionally wants to block our army's attack with the strong Benga City, but he doesn't know that our army has the strength to break the city in one day, and Gupta II will be captured by our army tomorrow." ”
"What the king said is, no matter how capable Gupta II is, how can he be our opponent, and when Gupta II is captured and killed tomorrow, the main force of our army can return to aid Khorasan." Wang San said happily.
Hua An nodded happily, and said: "Well said, when the city of Benga is broken tomorrow and Gupta II is captured, the main force of our army will return to Khorasan." ”
Just when the main army under Hua'an was actively preparing to break through Benjia City, in the east of Benjia City, another road of 3,000 soldiers and horses arrived at the outskirts of Benjia City without understanding, and this army was actually the Jingzhou army of the Great Jin.
The scouts under Hua'an's command naturally discovered the traces of the Jingzhou army as soon as possible, and immediately made a detailed report to Hua'an.
Upon learning that the Jingzhou army had actually arrived on the outskirts of Bangladesh City, Hua An was shocked and immediately inquired about the details.
The scout said truthfully: "Back to the king, the villain was ordered to go to the east of Benjia City to investigate, and suddenly found a group of soldiers and horses rushing from the east, the villain took a closer look, this army of soldiers and horses actually under the banner of the Jingzhou army, the strength of about 3,000.
"Okay, it's really good, it's actually the Jingzhou Army, which is enough to show that the Jingzhou Army has captured most of the southern part of Jiaozhou, and now, it has actually killed Benjia City, it seems that the results are good!" Hua An said happily.
"Your Majesty, in this way, the Annan Protectorate can also be officially established, and all the four major Protectorate Mansions of my Great Jin Dynasty are all ready." Wang San said happily.
Hua An nodded and said, "That's right, the four major protectors are all together, and the whole world belongs to my Dajin." ”
"Your Majesty, since the soldiers and horses of Jingzhou have arrived in Benjia City, we must immediately get in touch with them so that we can take joint action." Song Cheng said.
Hua An nodded and said: "That's right, this king must contact them to find out the current location of the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army, and you immediately go to contact the generals of the Jingzhou army." He looked at one of his generals.
"Yes, Your Majesty." The generals of the Jin army shouted the order and immediately went to carry it out.
Soon, the generals sent by Hua'an got in touch with the generals of the Jingzhou army, and after some conversation, both sides learned about each other's situation, and they were all very excited.
It turned out that the Jingzhou army attacked all the way to the south and had conquered all the tribes and small countries south of Jiaozhou, nearly half of the soldiers and horses of the Jingzhou army had arrived at the southernmost seashore, and were building warships, preparing to cross the strait and capture the land on the other side of the strait, while the other 30,000 troops and horses were attacking westward to open up more land, and the vanguard of this division was the men and horses who arrived in Benjia City.
After the generals of the Jin army learned of this situation, they immediately took a group of Jingzhou army generals to meet Hua'an, after all, Hua'an's position far exceeded that of the Jingzhou army generals.
"The last general will meet the king of the north." The generals of the Jingzhou army clasped their fists and greeted him.
Hua An hurriedly waved his hand and said politely: "Generals don't have to be polite, it's fate to be able to be close to you here, and then we should attack together and take Benga City." ”
"What the King of the North said is, however, after taking the city of Benga, we will return it to the east, and the land in the west will be opened up by the soldiers and horses under the command of the King of the North." Jingzhou Army General Zhengse said.
Hua An nodded and said, "This is natural, the generals go back and prepare!" Early tomorrow morning, we will break through the city of Benga. ”
"Yes, King of the North." The generals of the Jingzhou Army responded and immediately retreated.
After the Jingzhou army generals left, Hua'an fell into contemplation, the Jingzhou army has captured all the land south of Jiaozhou, and has approached the southern strait, although this strait has no name at this time, but Hua'an knows that it must be the Strait of Malacca in later generations, and after crossing Malacca, you can occupy a large number of large and small islands one after another, and occupy Australia in the process of continuing to attack south, and expand the territory of the Annam Protectorate several times at once.
"Your Majesty, the Jingzhou army is not slow! actually captured a large area of land in the south of Jiaozhou so quickly, and this strength is not much better than our army. Wang San's opening disrupted Hua An's thoughts.
"I don't think so, the Jingzhou army's movements are indeed very fast, but there are no powerful countries in the south of Jiaozhou, and our army has advanced westward and encountered many powerful countries such as Tuyuhun, Persia, Tianzhu, etc., and our army has captured much more land than the Jingzhou army, so the Jingzhou army cannot be compared with our army." Song Cheng put forward a different opinion.
Hua An smiled and said, "No matter who is more powerful, as long as it is for the future of Dajin, it doesn't make much sense to care about these." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." Wang San and Song Cheng hurriedly responded.
Early in the morning of the second day, Hua An personally led an army of 60,000 troops outside the north gate of Benjia City, preparing to launch a fierce attack on Benjia City, so as to break through Benjia City.
The 3,000 soldiers of the Jingzhou Army were responsible for attacking the east gate to contain the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in the city.
"Your Majesty, the three armies are ready, and the three hundred thunderbolts are all ready, ready to attack Benga City at any time." A Jin army general reminded loudly.
Hua An nodded, and Zhengse ordered: "The whole army will attack immediately and take Benga City within one day." ”
"Yes, Your Majesty." The general took the order and immediately ordered: "The whole army is ready to attack." ”
"Knock knock......" The drums of war rang out.
As soon as the war drums sounded, the Jin army's 300 thunderbolts began to throw the ignited thunderbolts at the walls of Benga City.......
The "boom, boom, boom......" thunderbolt fell on the walls of the city of Benga, kicking up a huge amount of smoke and dust, and producing a loud noise.
The Tianzhu soldiers who were preparing for battle on the city wall suffered great casualties in an instant, and many soldiers were mutilated and dying after being blown up.
Suddenly receiving such a blow made the defending Tianzhu soldiers very frightened, but most of the Tianzhu soldiers had already seen the thunderbolts of the Jin army when they attacked Hua's City, and for this reason, they were more or less prepared in their hearts, and there was not much confusion.
However, these Tianzhu soldiers can also clearly feel that the density of thunderbolts used by the Jin army this time far exceeds that of the Song Cheng army in Huarenheit City, and the power has naturally increased many times.
Of course, despite the great power of the Jin army's thunderbolts, they still have to work hard to hold on to Benjia City, after all, once they lose Benjia City, the last hope of the Tianzhu Empire is gone.
"Hold the city, so that the soldiers must defend the city." Gupta II heard a loud noise in the direction of the north gate and gave a loud order.
"Yes, Your Majesty." A personal soldier received the order and immediately went to deliver the order.
At this moment, Gupta II's heart was still a little nervous, after all, the sound from the direction of the north gate was too violent, and his heart was beating up and down with this huge sound.
The thunderbolts of the Jin army continued to bombard, and after giving the Tianzhu soldiers and horses a certain amount of damage, tens of thousands of soldiers began to hold shields and various siege equipment to launch a frontal attack on Benjia City.
First of all, the moat was a big hurdle, and the Jin soldiers had to break through the moat before they could continue the attack.
The moat of Benjia City was dug very wide by the Tianzhu soldiers, and the difficulty of breaking through was naturally not small, but how could these stump the experienced soldiers of the Jin army.
Under the cover of a large number of shield soldiers, the soldiers of the Jin army pushed a small cart full of large stones to the Fucheng River, and threw all the large stones on the cart into the designated position of the moat in an attempt to fill the moat.
Although the moat was wide and deep, it could not withstand the large number of soldiers and vehicles of the Jin army, so a certain section of the moat was quickly filled by the Jin army and became a smooth road.
Of course, in the process of filling the moat, the Jin army soldiers were shot by the bow and crossbow of the Tianzhu defenders, and paid a lot of casualties, similarly, the Jin army's thunderbolt attack also caused a lot of casualties to the Tianzhu army, and the casualties on both sides were not small, of course, the Jin army still had a slight advantage.
After filling in a moat, the Jin army's attack became a lot smoother, and a large number of Jin soldiers, under the cover of thunderbolts and bows, launched a fierce attack on the walls of Benjia City, and dozens of Jin soldiers carried thunderbolts into the city gate hole, ready to blow the city gate open.
"......Boom" With a loud bang, the north gate of Benjia City was blown open. The Tianzhu soldiers behind the city gate were swept far away by the huge shock wave and died with a whimper.
"Your Majesty, the gates of the city have been blown open." A general reported excitedly.
Hua An smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said with a straight face: "Order, the thunderbolt will stop firing, and the whole army will attack." ”
"Knock knock knock ......" The Jin army once again sounded a more violent drum.
"Kill ......," tens of thousands of Jin soldiers roared and attacked the city of Benjia.
Seeing that the main force of the Jin army launched a full-scale attack, the arrows under the city flew like raindrops, and the defending Tianzhu army was completely frightened, and there were signs of collapse.
"Defend the city, defend the city with all your might." The Tianzhu generals shouted loudly, trying to stop the panic of the soldiers under his command.
However, the city gate has been breached, and many soldiers and horses of the Jin army have entered the city, and launched a fierce attack on the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in the city, and some Jin soldiers ran to the city wall along the ladder in the city to attack the Tianzhu soldiers and horses on the city wall.
Tianzhu soldiers and horses are inferior to the Jin army, naturally can not stop the Jin army's attack, after the Jin army achieved absolute superiority, it began to disperse, and even many Tianzhu soldiers directly chose to surrender to the Jin army, in order to save their lives.
After the Jin army rushed into the city of Benga, they immediately divided their troops and killed in the direction of several city gates to block the way Gupta II fled, and at the same time, the main force launched a fierce attack on the Tianzhu soldiers and horses in the city, and persuaded the Tianzhu soldiers to surrender to the Jin army.
