Chapter 187: Western Region Wusun
This is equivalent to skipping work, and then they are caught by their immediate boss.
After a while, Jiang Wei was almost in front of Li Jue and others.
Li Jue and others were a little sad. They set out at least three days earlier than Jiang Wei, but were still caught up by Jiang Wei. And it seemed that Jiang Wei didn't even run very fast, he just ran at a normal speed.
"Qi!" Li Jue spat with disdain. What's wrong with being faster than their Xiliang Iron Cavalry? They still couldn't beat them.
"Wait, look at the troops behind Jiang Boyue!" Li Jue suddenly noticed the troops led by Jiang Wei.
"Wow, Jiang Boyue is a bit exaggerated. He even brought the Yulin Army with him."
"They really treat us as criminals and even bring the Yulin Army with them!" Zhang Ji was a little annoyed.
To be honest, they, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, are not afraid of any army, except the Yulin Army. Whether they can defeat them is one thing, but once they start fighting, the inherent suppression of the Yulin Army on them will make them very uncomfortable.
It's like a younger brother facing a bigger brother. No one knows who will win or lose if a real fight breaks out, but in their hearts they have already lost by three points before the fight even begins.
"Go, go, Xiu'er, go and send him away. Tell him that we must go to the Western Regions. We have an order to do so!" Guo Si handed Li Ru's order to Zhang Xiu, and asked the equally young Zhang Xiu to deal with Jiang Wei.
Anyway, they had made up their minds that even if they wanted to have a sparring match with Jiang Wei, they had to go to the Western Regions. If they stayed there doing nothing any longer, they would really get rusty.
"Brother Boyue, why are you here?" Zhang Xiu looked at Jiang Wei with gritted teeth.
"Are you guys going to the Western Regions?" Jiang Wei looked depressed. He didn't want to come, but he had no choice.
"Yes, this is the order from Military Advisor Li Ru, and we are just following the military order." Zhang Xiu pretended to be serious. He really couldn't say that his uncles were bored so they secretly ran away to the Western Regions.
"Let's go together, let's go together," Jiang Wei said excitedly, but then he looked helpless, as his problem became more and more serious.
Zhang Xiu felt that Jiang Wei was a bit strange, but he didn't say anything. He was glad that Jiang Wei was not here to arrest them.
"Where is our first stop?" Li Jue patted Jiang Wei excitedly. After they eavesdropped and found out that Jiang Wei was also a Husky, they decisively came over to ask about the plan. They only ran out because of the excitement, they didn't even have a map.
They knew Jiang Wei's abilities. He was one of the few smart people in Xiliang. Asking Jiang Wei for his plan was definitely a good idea.
Jiang Wei scratched his head, feeling that as a Border Collie, he ended up blending into a group of Huskies. He really didn't expect that Li Jue and his men would escape without even a map.
Jiang Wei flipped through the books he brought with him and said, "Let's go to Wusun as our first stop. This kingdom has always occupied the Silk Road and profited from the Han Empire, the Parthian Empire, and the Roman Empire. We should attack them in our first battle. Let's go along this route to find the Wu Ji Commandant in the Western Regions."
Li Jue and others became even more excited. Jiang Wei was too reliable. Not only did he know who to attack, but he could also plan a route for them.
"Okay, okay, Bo Yue, from today on, you are the Seventh Heavenly King of Xiliang!" Li Jue patted Jiang Wei's shoulder, full of familiarity.
Well...the fifth heavenly king is Zhang Xiu, and the sixth heavenly king is Wan Peng.
Hua Xiong was originally a level lower than them. After all, Hua Xiong was not very good at commanding. Moreover, their fighting skills were not inferior to Hua Xiong before he broke through. It was just that they had always been in command positions and did not often rush to the front line, which gave Hua Xiong the title of Xiliang Tiger.
If Hua Xiong hadn't been able to leave his body and had the talent of a legion, Fei Xiong wouldn't have been able to take over.
This is how the Xiliang Iron Cavalry is, the capable ones are given the upper hand, so Feixiong became Huaxiong's legion, and they could only lead the Imperial Guards and legions with double talents.
As for those soldiers with little talent and those newly recruited, they were all trained under Wan Peng. If it weren't for Wan Peng's expertise in training new recruits, they would have been expelled from the Heavenly King's group long ago.
Jiang Wei smiled wryly and led the Yulin Army towards the Western Regions. To be honest, he was unable to command these Yulin Army soldiers. The only reason they could follow him out was because of the soul inside him.
A group of people set off on their journey in such a noisy manner. By the time Yao Chong in Beiliang City discovered something was wrong, Li Jue and his group had already fled to the Western Regions.
Yao Chong thought about it and just handed a piece of intelligence to Luoyang and didn't care about it anymore. It's not like he didn't understand military affairs. With the combination of the Western Liang Iron Cavalry and the Yulin Army, they could go anywhere in the world. As for food and fodder, there was no shortage of them. He was too lazy to care about Li Jue and others.
Anyway, as for the problems in Liang Province, the father and son of the Ma family are enough. Ma Chao is really good at fighting the Qiang people.
Moreover, he has Yan Rou by his side, who is more than capable of dealing with ordinary petty thieves. It is also a good thing that these unstable factors like Li Jue have disappeared.
"My dearest ones!"
The hereditary Wu Ji Commandant cried and hugged Li Jue and others, and wept bitterly. He was fed up with this shabby place, the Western Regions.
It has been unknown how long since the Han Dynasty sent legions to garrison here. He formed a team relying on the reputation of his ancestors, but his combat effectiveness is really worrying. He is surviving in this place entirely by relying on the reputation of his ancestors.
After learning the purpose of Jiang Wei and others, Captain Wu Ji readily handed over all the information and books to them, and then happily returned to the Central Plains with Jiang Wei's letter of recommendation.
He was really fed up with the Western Regions. It was a crappy place with wars every day and there was never a single day of peace.
"My goodness, all the countries in the Western Regions are our vassal states? They haven't paid tribute for so many years, they are all rebels." After Jiang Wei finished reading the records of Wu Ji Xiaowei, he directly sentenced all the countries in the Western Regions to death.
"Let's go, let's start with Wusun. They claim to be the number one country in the Western Regions, and decades ago they even fought against us together with the Northern Xiongnu." Guo Si picked up a book about Wusun and guessed.
"Let's go, let's go, it's him!" Li Jue and others had been bored for a long time. They finally got a chance for war, so naturally they would not let it go.
They did not bring a large number of cavalry, but boldly left their troops to Zhang Xiu and Jiang Wei, and they wanted to have some fun with their own cavalry.
More than 3,000 Xiliang cavalry guards happily put on their armor, carried javelins on their backs, put crossbows on their waists, tied their saddles, and then set off in a mighty manner.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which is at the level of the Imperial Guards, are actually war criminals who have trained killing into an instinct. It can be said that they can do nothing else except killing. During the long war, they have placed all their ideals and dreams in life on the battlefield. For them, war is the greatest enjoyment.
Therefore, when Li Jue and his men heard about a war, they didn't even want to ask who the enemy was. They just wanted to see their opponents and then kill them.
To be honest, the flat land like the Western Regions is suitable for them.
To be honest, the size of Wusun is not small, with a population of more than 4 million in the game, otherwise they would not be shouting about unifying the Western Regions.
Among the thirty-six kingdoms in the Western Regions, except for Wusun, Loulan and Dayuan were relatively strong, and the other kingdoms had only a few hundred thousand people.
There were frequent wars in the Western Regions, but the Wusun had a good sense of war and had discovered the whereabouts of Li Jue and others dozens of miles away.
They also quickly mobilized a group of cavalry out of the city to meet the enemy. After all, if Li Jue and his men were few in number, they would not really take them seriously. In the Western Regions, they were not afraid of anyone.
They are still relatively short of supplies such as bows and arrows. Compared to consumables such as bows and arrows, they prefer simple weapons such as swords.
Li Jue and others were stunned. It had been a long time since they had seen a cavalry team that dared to confront them head-on.
"Go, go, kill these idiots!" Li Jue and others almost reflexively deployed the most commonly used sharp arrow formation of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and confronted the Wusun Cavalry head-on.
At the last kilometer, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry suddenly charged forward. A black and bloody cloud emerged from the Xiliang Iron Cavalry and then covered all the soldiers. At this moment, the speed of the Iron Cavalry was also constantly increasing.
To outsiders, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry seemed to be floating, but they were Feixiong's reserve force, so they could still weaken the gravity temporarily.
When the two sides were about to get close, Li Jue and his men picked up the crossbows at their waists and fired one shot at the opposite side. Then they hung the crossbows on their horses and pulled out the javelins behind them and threw them at the opposite side.
Compared with their previous poor means of attack, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry now has richer means of combat after being equipped with more equipment.
Compared with the flat shooting of crossbows, javelins can better exert the power of gravity. A five-jin javelin weighs less than one jin in the hands of Li Jue and his men. When it is thrown to the top, the gravity suddenly reaches a hundred jin, and the falling speed is far beyond that of conventional throwing.
The crossbows directly blocked the first row of Wusun cavalry, and the javelins directly broke up the coordination among the Wusun cavalry.
The javelins fell from the sky, and even if they penetrated the bodies of the Wusun cavalry, they would sink into the earth.
Although Li Jue and his men could not use gravity unlimitedly like Fei Xiong, they were still able to use a weakened version of gravity control. This was the pinnacle of conventional Xiliang Iron Cavalry. As for Fei Xiong, he was the product of an unexpected miracle, and they still didn't understand how Fei Xiong was born.
Two waves of long-range attacks directly stunned the Wusun cavalry. They had no saddles or stirrups, and less than one percent of the soldiers could fight with two hands.
They had never seen or even heard of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry's unconventional search method.
They usually formed a battle formation in the Western Regions, and then charged into each other in waves to see whose troops were more resilient and whose were more ferocious.
Generally speaking, the battle ends when the casualties reach 10% to 20%. It cannot be a war of annihilation. After all, the defending side has a great advantage. Even if Wusun is the strongest, they cannot forcefully attack the city. What's more, there are alliances between several small countries, and Wusun cannot take them down at all.
Before the Wusun cavalry could react, Li Jue and others put on special machetes and fell into the Wusun cavalry camp like meteorites.
The machete is a weapon designed by Chen Xi specifically for the Xiliang Iron Cavalry. It is not only sturdy and durable, but also has a blood groove on the blade. Even if one blow does not kill the enemy, it can cause the wound to shatter and bleed to death.
The violent impact force directly broke up the formation of the Wusun cavalry, and then the Xiliang cavalry wielded machetes and directly shattered the morale of the Wusun cavalry.
The Xiliang Iron Cavalry completely ignored the attack of the Wusun Cavalry, directly blocked it with their bodies, and then beheaded them with a backhanded blow.
They are the Xiliang Iron Cavalry at the level of the Royal Guards, with full defense. Their talents of muscle defense and armor defense have been melted into their own instincts.
And because Li Jue and his men did not know how to train other talents, they could only continue to train the Xiliang Iron Cavalry in the two talents of muscle defense and armor defense.
Generally, after smelting one talent and then training two other talents, they can be called the Royal Guards . However, a rogue like the Xiliang Iron Cavalry, which only has two talents on the surface but actually has four talents in effect, is simply not a force that a small country like Wusun can understand.
Nearly five thousand Wusun cavalry were defeated immediately by the fierce fighting style of the Xiliang cavalry.
They had never encountered such a terrifying opponent in the Western Regions. The Wusun cavalry behind them didn't even have time to see their opponent clearly before they were crushed by the iron hooves of the Xiliang cavalry.
The Wusun cavalry was frightened out of their wits, and the battle went straight into the stage of cleaning up the battlefield.
The Wusun cavalry, who lost more than 1,700 people in a wave of confrontation, lost their will to fight, dismounted, lay on the ground trembling, waiting for the judgment of Li Jue and others.
"Isn't the Wusun too soft?" Fan Chou spat. He had just finished warming up, and the other side just surrendered with their heads in their hands. They were even worse than the Qiang people.
"Their weapons are pretty good. It's obvious that their fighting capacity is not even as good as that of the Qiang people, yet they are equipped with weapons of this level." Zhang Ji picked up a knife used by the Wusun cavalry from the ground and found that it was one level higher than the weapons they had before they changed their equipment, and was comparable to their current weapons.
"Wait, look at their horses? What is this?" Guo Si's focus has always been different from theirs. He was born a horse bandit and knows horses very well.
"Dayuan horses? Are they worthy of using Dayuan horses?" Li Jue immediately lost his mind. Although this horse was not as good as the horse under his mount, it was also a rare and top-grade horse, which could instantly kill 80% of the mounts of the Xiliang Iron Cavalry under his command.
The four men hurriedly looked around and found that the horses under the Wusun cavalry were of really high quality, generally superior to their mounts.
Without saying a word, they confiscated all the war horses. The Wusun tribe was not worthy of such good horses. These horses were a gift from God to the Xiliang Iron Cavalry.
"What should we do with these wimps?" When Li Jue was blocked by a Wusun cavalryman, he remembered the existence of the Wusun cavalry.
He despised this group of Wusun cavalry from the bottom of his heart. They used the same weapons as theirs and rode better horses than theirs. As a result, only dozens of Xiliang cavalrymen suffered minor injuries, and then they directly defeated the Wusun on the opposite side.
If Qiang people of equal strength had come instead, the Xiliang Iron Cavalry might have lost around a hundred people today.
He couldn't believe that the Wusun cavalry on the opposite side were double-talented elites and were so weak that it was terribly weak.
