Chapter 1286 Soldiers approaching the city
There were retreating people everywhere on the Silk Road.
The postmen at the post station, the beacons of the beacons, the family of the postmen at the beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons, and the men beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons beacons, along with them.
He leads his family and his family, takes the old and the young, and leads the cow to drive the horse.
Many of the Fanzis beside the city were indeed not from Kucha. Most of them came to surrender after the Qin Dynasty controlled the Silk Road and lived next to these post stations, beacons and soldiers. The Qin people lived a rare stable life, especially after they all became Qin, they all called themselves Qin people.
The taxes are not high, but I have a stable home.
Now that the King of Kucha is coming to attack the Qin army on the Silk Road, everyone runs with them.
It is actually a surprising thing. On the land of Kucha, the Silk Road and within twenty miles of both sides of the road were all classified as the joint management of Daqin and Kucha. But on the other hand, it is said to be co-managed, but the Qin army has the right to station troops and have the right to govern the country. Even the foreigners within these twenty miles have the right to choose whether to join the nationality of Daqin or Kucha, and can choose freely.
If you become a Qin citizen, you will be a Qin person and you will no longer have to pay taxes and serve in Kutz.
To be honest, the Qin Dynasty's approach was a bit shameless and openly acted like a hooligan, but the countries in the Western Regions finally pinched their noses and accepted the signing of the alliance. The key was that the Qin army defeated the powerful Shekui Khan of the Western Turks and replaced the Western Turks as the sect leader of the Western Regions.
On the other hand, the Qin Dynasty claimed to inherit all the inheritance of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions, so it also claimed to have ownership of the Silk Road. In fact, the countries dared to be angry but did not dare to speak out.
You should know that after the Midianshi expedition to the west and defeated the Bai Xiongnu Yanda, the countries in the Western Regions were changed to the Western Turks. Many Western Regions countries were even changed to the royal throne, and the king directly became the Western Turks nobles.
In comparison, the Great Qin enthroned the countries as princes of the Great Qin and divided their territory only to pass through control of the Silk Road sections of various countries, which is already very good.
The public reason why Cheng Yaojin wanted to destroy Kucha this time is very simple, "The King of Kucha lost his ministers' etiquette!" In just six words, if he lost his ministers' etiquette, he would destroy his country, and the King of Kucha was also helpless.
On both sides of the Silk Road, the desert and Gobi are mixed with green oasis.
"The Kucha people are here!"
"Kucha Cavalry!"
Someone exclaimed.
Sure enough, a stream of smoke rose up behind him, and a Kucha cavalry arrived. It was said to be the Kucha army, but in fact it was the Turkic army. The Kucha king was originally a Bai surname, but now the names were all questionable. Because they had become Turkic, the Bai family of Kucha married the Turkic family for several generations, and finally inherited the throne by the Turkic nephew. Although he was still named the Kucha king, he was no longer descendants of the Kucha Bai family. Since the Kucha king system that has been passed down for thousands of years in the Western Han Dynasty, it has been replaced by the Turkic family.
With the Turkic King, the ministers and troops below were naturally Turkic.
"It is the Turkic scouts of Kucha, and there are not many, only ten cavalry."
The Kucha army was dominated by Turks, and its organization was mostly 100 million.
There are ten people in a small team, there are ten commanders, and a large team of hundreds, and there are centurions.
Now this team of ten cavalry is obviously the scouts who are going deep into the front.
"Old Xu, can you kill them?"
Xu Feng led only to a beacon, with only eight people under his command, and they were all infantrymen.
“Try it.”
Fortunately, there are many people here. In addition to the nine people who replaced the beacon castle, there are more than a dozen people from Dashi Post, and there are also many cities, families and other people who followed them. There must be two or three hundred people in their group.
"Push the car over, circle it, and put the boxes and other boxes on it."
"Women and children are all staying inside, and young and strong men are guarding outside."
Xu Feng led the serious Qin warriors at least. Even if they were infantry Fengzi, they still had a good command. Under his command, everyone calmed down a lot.
"Hurry up and put on armor!"
The beacons also have armor. Although they do not have the armor of patrol horses, they can defend against arrows after being put on.
"Shield!"
"Bow and crossbow!"
Xu Feng led his eight men to put on the armor helmet, buckled the bow, and stood behind the car with a shield.
The Fanzi and his children beside the city hold swords and bows.
The Kucha light cavalry roared over and ran around the hurriedly circled car array.
From time to time, an arrow shot came.
The women and children in the team couldn't help crying, while the men were holding their weapons and staring at the Kucha people.
"Don't be anxious, wait for them to get closer, aim and shoot."
Xu Feng led a crossbow in his hand and hugged behind the car, with a shield in front of him. He squinted his eyes and stared at the Turkic soldiers. These people were very cunning and still tentative, far away.
Another arrow shot.
A young man holding a horizontal knife was caught in an arrow on the shoulder and screamed and fell to the ground.
There was a panic in the formation. Xu Feng took a look and then continued to stare at the Turkic Light Cavalry.
After testing for a few rounds, the scouts finally couldn't help it, and roared together and rushed towards it.
They want to get closer so that they can ejaculate more accurately immediately.
Seeing that a Turkic light cavalry had pulled the bow, Xu Fengsu finally pulled the crossbow machine in his hand, and the short crossbow nail shot out with a squirt. The light cavalry, who had already rushed to thirty steps, was caught in an arrow in his chest, and fell down and ran to the other side by the horse.
The other eight beacons, as well as a group of Fanzi and their children with bows, also shot arrows at this time.
The Turkic Light Cavalry did not expect that this group of people who seemed to be fleeing old and weak had so many bows. Because they were too close, four or five people were shot at the same time.
Seeing this, the other few hurriedly turned their horses' heads.
Xu Fengsuo immediately pulled the string again. When he got on the crossbow again, the remaining scouts had turned around and ran for more than ten steps.
He shot a crossbow and shot a behind light cavalry as he fell off his horse.
In the end, three Turkic light cavalry fled.
Xu Feng let out a long sigh. His heartbeat was extremely violent just now.
Several Fengzi jumped out of the cart and ran to chop off the heads of the Kucha soldiers who were caught in the arrow, searched them all, and stripped them of their armor and weapons.
When they came back, Fanzi went up and stripped the clothes, boots, etc. of those people, leaving a few headless corpses there.
Seven horses were also chased back.
Everyone smiled happily.
"Damn it, I've gained a lot."
"Wang Xiaolang can't do it anymore." The postmaster came over and said.
Several people were shot in the arrow just now, two of them were teenagers, and one of them was fortunately injured by the shoulder, but one was unlucky and was shot into the chest. It was no longer possible to be able to do so with such skill.
The boy's mother cried heartbrokenly.
"Trap the injured one."
"Let Wang Xiaolang be put in the car first, let's retreat quickly, for fear that more Kucha light cavalry will chase you later."
Just now, they were just the careless scouts of the light cavalry, but if there were too many people coming, their mob would definitely not be able to do it. Now is not the time to be sad. Everyone simply bandages the injured, and then lifts the dead Wang Xiaolang into a carriage and continues to rush to Bazhangcheng.
Before dark, the team finally arrived at the city. When they entered the city, a large group of people had already appeared behind them, and the Kucha vanguard army had already arrived at the city.
"It's so dangerous, I almost couldn't get in."
"So many, I'm afraid there are not less than ten thousand people. Can we stop by the city?"
Everyone who had just passed the city and escaped was standing at the door for detailed inspection. Everyone had to check their identity in case they entered the city in detail.
