In Dunhuang County, it is sparsely populated, and the former Silk Road is gradually desolate due to the chaos of the Han Dynasty.
In addition, many places outside the Yumen Pass are desertified, and only some small tribes of the Qiang people are nomadic here.
The grass is green, the four fields are silent, a herdsman riding on a horse, driving a herd of cattle and sheep to graze on the grass by a small river, babbling and humming a grassland folk song, it seems very pleasant.
Thundered Just as he turned around, there was a faint roar in his ears.
The roaring sound, coming from the south, was approaching rapidly, and the ground under his feet seemed to be trembling faintly.
In the world, the only person who can cause such a shock is a large-scale cavalry.
The shepherd's expression changed, and he hurriedly turned around, and followed the sound and looked into the distance.
Under the morning light, I saw a vast dust mist in the distance, covering the sky, like a sandstorm.
The sandstorm came very quickly, and in a short time, it swept several miles away, and the terrible truth of the sandstorm gradually became clear.
When he saw the banner like a forest in the distance, he couldn't help but change his face greatly: "The people of the Western Regions have entered the customs" At the moment, the Qiang herdsmen frantically flicked their horse whips, urging the hundreds of cattle and sheep to hula and go north, lest they run half a step slower and be trampled into meat paste by the army.
It's just that the herdsman didn't see it clearly, there is a big flag embroidered with Chinese characters in the flag of the forest, and under the big flag of the word "horse" in the middle, Ma Chao, who is in white robe and silver armor, carries a tiger head and a golden gun, and rides a thousand miles of divine horse flying in the sand, looking energetic and hunting.
The so-called spring breeze is proud, and Ma Chao, who is bathed in the spring light, is indeed a little proud.
This trip to the Western Regions, Ma Chao has gained a lot, not only got 200,000 reinforcements from iron horses, but also got a delicate beauty, Princess Su Dai's creamy smooth skin and the unique style of the Western Regions people, which made him have endless aftertastes.
It's just that beauty is just an accessory to him after all, and the strongest desire in his heart is revenge.
Suddenly turning around, he looked at the Western Regions elite cavalry behind him, only to see a stormy wave rolling in, countless people crowded, countless knives and guns shining in the air with pieces of light gathered together like a lake, the undulating waves have been extended to the sky, and the tide of cavalry has emerged wave after wave in the sky, but the rear army has never been seen, it seems to be endless.
This time, Gongsun Bai must be defeated and captured, Gongsun Bai is only thirty or forty thousand cavalry, as long as he keeps a clear head, even if Gongsun Bai's crossbow arrows are sharp, it can't stop the endless cavalry frenzy, under the absolute superiority of troops, I don't believe that Gongsun Bai has turned the sky upside down In a trance, he seemed to have seen Gongsun Bai's bloody head, and his heart couldn't help but feel a burst of happiness.
Jiuquan County, Lufu City.
More than a month ago, the 30,000 elite soldiers of the Worry Relief Army led by Gongsun Bai and Zhang Liao arrived at the Jiuquan County Governor's Office.
So far, in the entire Xiliang land, only the desolate land of Dunhuang County remains, and the rest are under the command of Gongsun Bai.
In more than a month, Gongsun Bai only did one thing, that is, to force all the Qiang herdsmen in Jiuquan County and west of Lufu City to move more than 100 miles east of Lufu City and even to Wuwei County.
After months of governance, the prosperity of Wuwei County is far better than that of Jiuquan County, and the Qiang people will naturally not be too resistant.
In this way, the entire land hundreds of miles west of Jiuquan County is a desolate land, like a ghost.
Yanwang Mansion, in the main chamber, on top of the blazing charcoal fire, there is a big copper basin, a pot of good wine is boiled in the copper basin, next to the charcoal fire, there are beef and mutton and a few small dishes on a table, Gongsun Bai, Guo Jia and Sima Yi are sitting around the case.
"Okay, he's a Ma Chao, it's really a blessing, not only borrowed a lot of soldiers and horses, but also harmed the first beauty in the Western Regions, why doesn't his mother's son have such a good fortune" Guo Jia said jealously.
Sima Yi said with a smile: "I heard that the real number one beauty in the Western Regions is the princess of Qiuci Kingdom, but she didn't know where to go during the rebellion in the court of Qiuci Kingdom a year ago, and she still has a chance." ” Gongsun Bai was very speechless for Sima Yi, a good young man who had always been serious, and he had become flamboyant in less than two years with Guo Jia, and said with a straight face: "In the past few days, according to the information sent back by the Black Panther Guard, the cavalry of the Western Regions that has entered Jiuquan County has reached 200,000 people.
It seems that the wolves in the Western Regions are really crazy, and when they heard about the chaos in the Han family, they also wanted to take the opportunity to loot like the Huns. ” Sima Yi gasped: "Two hundred thousand, this is more than half of the troops of the entire Western Regions.
People of different races really dare to spend blood."
Guo Jia sneered: "As long as this soldier and horse are defeated, the entire Western Regions will be finished."
Five or six hundred miles west of Jiuquan is deserted, and 200,000 soldiers and horses eat what their horses chew, see how long he can hold out."
This is the reason why Gongsun Bai let the Qiang people in Jiuquan County migrate greatly, hundreds of miles of strong walls and clear fields, 200,000 iron horsemen from the Western Regions have no way to replenish grain and grass on the spot, and the people of the Western Regions come on light horses, and the grain and grass they bring must be limited, once the soldiers come to Lufu City, there is no choice but to frantically attack the city in order to break the city to get food.
And this is exactly the result of Gongsun Bai's want, Gongsun Bai's system warehouse has been filled with all kinds of materials and armor equipment, etc., plus the worry relief army has 8,000 rattan armor first, the people of the Western Regions want to attack Lufu City, even if it is a million soldiers and horses, it is impossible.
Woooooooo In the direction of the west of Lufu City, there was a distant sound of horns, as if it was from an ancient call, containing a solemn atmosphere.
Zhang Liao, who was on duty at the head of the city, was shocked, and he hurriedly ran to the west corner of the city tower, looking far away.
At the end of the field of vision, the dust and mist were billowing and flying, and the sandstorm that covered the sky was rolling towards the side of Lufu City.
Today, there is no wind, and suddenly, how can there be a sandstorm?
The sandstorm surged closer and closer, gradually transforming into a vast ocean, followed by countless swords, guns, swords, halberds, countless human heads and horses' hooves gradually visible.
The people of the Western Regions have finally arrived However, with the effort of half a pillar of incense, the entire Lufu City was submerged in the vast sea of 200,000 iron horsemen on three sides Standing in Ma with a gun, looking at the Lufu City Tower from afar, Ma Chao's eyes were as cold as iron, and he seemed to be able to see how the trembling faces were surging with terror.
For these barbarian alien races and small countries, fighting a war is no better than the Han Empire after all, and it needs a steady stream of food and grass to replenish it.
Otherwise, if it is according to the rules of the Han people's war, those nomads will not be able to fight at all when they enter the Xiongnu, Xianbei, Wuhuan, etc., and there is not so much grain and grass to use as a backup.
However, along the way, they crossed hundreds of miles of uninhabited grasslands, which once made them suspect that the Gongsun army had withdrawn from Jiuquan County with the Qiang people, which made Ma Chao criticized by many generals of the Western Regions.
Fortunately, Gongsun Bai did not disappoint them after all, although the surroundings were desolate, but Lufu City was a lively scene, and there was naturally a lot of grain in stock, and there were only 30,000 foot soldiers in the city, and it was naturally easy to attack with 200,000 elite soldiers.
And what made Ma Chao even more surprised was that Gongsun Bai was actually in Lufu City, as long as the city was broken, the siege of 200,000 iron cavalry frenzy, even if Gongsun Bai was helped by the gods, I am afraid he would not be able to escape.
Lufu City, Lao Tzu is determined to win At this time, Gongsun Bai, surrounded by the generals, heard the news and personally climbed the city tower to command the battle.
Ma Chao slowly raised his head, looked at the enemy in the middle of the city tower who was the same age as himself, and laughed proudly: "Gongsun Bai Xiao'er, you said that my cavalry will not attack the city, Lao Tzu will attack you today."
Thundered With a loud noise in the crowd, in the sight, the behemoths have all been dragged to the front of the formation.

"Trebuchet" Even all the soldiers on the city tower were all in battle, and they couldn't help but gasp, who would have thought that the cavalry of the Western Regions would ride out of the battle and actually bring an artifact like a trebuchet.
"It is not a bad thing that the thieves have come on light horses, and have brought so many trebuchets with them, that they will bring less grain and grass."
Sima Yi said.
"If there is no trebuchet, the siege means of the thief army are limited, and the casualties of our army will definitely be very low, and now that there are trebuchets, I am afraid that the casualties will be greatly increased."
Guo Jia said coldly.
Indeed, this time Ma Chao came with great momentum, and he also came prepared, and he had already made double preparations for field battles and tough battles, not only with trebuchets, but also with ladders.
Half an hour later, thousands of city-breaking cannons were ready, and as far as the eye could see, the black pressure was facing the main city of Lufu.
As soon as he rode a horse, Wu Li rode straight to Ma Chao's body, and arched his hand: "General Qiqi, the city-breaking cannons are ready, please show the general." ” Dawan's first general, Wu Li, has become a loyal fan of Ma Chao since he was rescued by Ma Chao in the ring that day, and Ma Chao is naturally extremely important to him.
"Hmm."
Ma Chao only nodded slightly, pointed forward with the whip, and said coldly: "Pass on the general's order, fire a thousand cannons, and raze Lufu to the ground for the general." ” "No" Wu left the order, and rode away excitedly.
Not long after, the rumbling sound of war drums rose to the sky, shaking the dust on Lufu City.
Just the sound of the war drums made the face of the Gongsun army at the head of the city change greatly.
The three-way drum passed, and when the war drums were drummed, they suddenly turned urgent.
That was the horn of the attack.
With the advance of the banner in front of the formation, the order to shell Lufu was officially issued.
Whew When the piercing air broke through the air, the ears were instantly filled, and in the line of sight, thousands of giant stone bullets soared out of the air almost at the same time.
Countless stone projectiles drew graceful arcs, like falling stars, and bombarded down towards the head of Lufu City.
At that moment, Gongsun Bai watched the overwhelming pressure of the stones, and his pretended calm face was instantly terrified to the point of deformation, and his determination to die was destroyed in an instant.
Boom, boom, boom Thousands of stone bullets fell in an instant.
Ma Chao's eyes closed slightly, waiting for the female wall to collapse, the city tower to collapse, howling and screaming, and in the blink of an eye, the main city of Lufu was drowned in the dust rising from the sky.
However, before the screams from the city could be heard, there were sudden exclamations around him, startling Ma Chao to open his eyes in a hurry.
Then he saw an incredible scene to be continued
