Chapter 3995： : Keep going

Walking on a road with no concrete road, the army is not moving forward very fast, and the Jin army scouts are very detailed about the situation on the road ahead. This is also the habit that the Jin army scouts have developed over the years. On the occasion of the enemy, having a better understanding of the situation ahead is of great help to the war.

Among the pioneers, there are merchants who have traveled to the Western Regions for a long time to do business. They have a sufficient understanding of the terrain and climate changes in the Western Regions, which also provides a lot of convenience for the army.

Control more about the situation ahead so that the generals in the army can make judgments about the situation.

The generals of the vanguard forces are precisely Yu Jin.

Let's say that after Zhang Liao led the army to pacify South River City and Weixu, he did not meet the current record, but led the army to direct its efforts to Qiuci.

The location of Qiuci is the location where the Western Regions Changshi Mansion was originally located. For a long time, Han officials have been in charge of the Western Regions in Gancheng for the majority of time. Although Gaochangbi was also used as the Western Region Changshi Mansion, in Zhang Liao’s view, After the capture of Qiuci, the Jin army was of great help in controlling the situation of the Western Regions.

There is definitely a certain difference between fighting in Kucha and breaking Procyon and Dangerous. If Kucha has a better understanding of the situation on the battlefield, it will inevitably make full preparations before the arrival of the Jin army. The location of the former Long History Mansion in the Western Regions is beyond doubt.

Twenty days later, Zhang Liao led the army only fifty miles away from Yancheng occupied by Qiuci.

After investigating the direction, Zhang Liao ordered the army to be stationed in situ, and then all the scouts in the general were sent to investigate the delay. If the defenders of Yancheng were not prepared, the Jin army came suddenly, and it would be natural to break the Yancheng.

The Jin army scouts are all elites in the army, and they are extremely careful when investigating the situation on the battlefield.

News about Yancheng quickly spread to the army. Zhang Liao frowned when he learned that Qiuci has more than 5,000 troops. It is absolutely powerful when placed in the Western Regions. Otherwise, Qiuci will not. Dare to occupy the place where the former Long History Mansion was located.

Judging from the news that came, the defenders of Yancheng had already taken precautions. Obviously, the Qiuci people had a certain understanding of the Jin army's methods of attacking the city. The city gates were closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.

"It seems that the people of Qiuci also have a certain ability, but I don't know how the situation in the city is?" Zhang Liao said.

Zhang Yan stepped forward and said: "General, even if Yancheng has enemy soldiers, it is not a problem. Our army has thousands of soldiers. After approaching the city, it is not a problem to break through the enemy's city with the advantage of gunpowder. When the time comes, the army will swarm in, so why not be able to break through Yancheng."

Zhang Liao shook his head and said: "When our army captured the city before, we used this kind of weapon. Judging from the situation from the scouts, it is clear that Kucha is prepared for this battle. If you forcibly attack the city, it will definitely make the army pay. Unnecessary loss."

"The general's words are very true." Zhang Yan said.

Having said that, Zhang Liao can feel that Zhang Yan is a little dissatisfied with his caution. This is nothing in Zhang Liao's opinion. As long as the lieutenant soldiers can avoid more damage when attacking the city, all the efforts are worth it.

There is no shortage of elite soldiers in the Jin army. The wolf knights under Zhang Liao are also the elites of the Jin army. Three thousand wolf knights cross the world and have received much praise. If you care more, it is bound to make the lieutenant soldiers pay a higher price on the battlefield.

Getting the greatest victory at the least cost is the most important thing the military commander should do. Otherwise, after the confrontation, how can you do more with the number of lieutenant soldiers? Zhang Liao led the conquest For many years, the truth of this is still clear.

"Send a scout, pay close attention to the situation in Yancheng, and the army continues to move forward." Zhang Liao ordered.

At this time, it was Qiuci’s first fierce general Ai Lei who was guarding Yancheng. Among the Western Regions, there were many Han-like names, especially when Han officials ruled the Western Regions. They had similar names. It is also a commendable thing.

When the Jin army was dispatched from Weili, Qiuci got the news. For the Jin army, King Qiuci had a lot of fear. The Han army had a strong fighting force. After encountering the Han army on the battlefield, It needs to be more cautious.

After the Jin army was dispatched, King Qiuci ordered people to pay close attention to the news of the Jin army. Sure enough, the Jin army showed off on the battlefields of the Western Regions. The cities and cities were quickly broken by the Jin army. At this time, Qiuci Wang also strengthened his defenses, especially for the movement of the Jin army The speed of the Jin army's advancement is definitely much worse than the speed at which the scouts can deliver messages. Qiuci can be found in the Western Regions. With such a name, King Qiuci is not a simple character.

Even though the Jin army remained sufficiently concealed in the process of advancing, it was impossible to completely hide the traces with the arrival of thousands of troops.

When King Qiuci learned that thousands of Jin troops were coming towards Qiuci, he was shocked. He immediately dispatched the first fierce fighter Airey in the country to garrison Yancheng. The Jin army must attack Qiuci. Yancheng must be captured. Otherwise, wait until After the Jin army went deep into Qiuci, Yancheng's army would make it difficult to transport the Jin army's grain and grass.

Regarding the combat effectiveness of the Jin army, Qiuci did not know more about it, but the news that came from the Jin army after the war in the Western Regions could feel the strength of the Jin army. Back then, Lv Bu led the army and pointed directly at the powerful lieutenant. Li, occupied by the State of Wei Li, and King Wei Li became a prisoner of the Jin army.

There is no doubt that Wei Li’s strength is strong. However, in front of the Jin army, the resistance of Wei Li’s army seemed so fragile. Fortunately, after the capture of Wei Li at that time, Lu Bu did not take further steps in the Western Regions. His actions are like forgetting the countries of the Western Regions.

Even so, King Qiuci was shocked in his heart. If one day, the Jin army once again came to the countries of the Western Regions, would it be possible to stop the Jin army from attacking with the power of Qiuci?

Under these circumstances, King Qiuci must think about the future fate of Qiuci, occupying it Gancheng. Once the Jin army vacates its hands and feet, it will inevitably turn its sights on Qiuci in Gancheng.

Based on this, King Qiuci ordered people to inquire about the situation of the Jin army secretly, and the merchants of Qiuci also went to Jin to do business. In this way, not only would they be able to obtain sufficient benefits, but at the same time, the King of Qiuci would be able to do business in Jin. There is more understanding of the situation.
