The Human Emperor Chapter 868: Suyab City！
Chapter 868
"hōng lōng lōng!"
On the road to Anxi, the ground was shaking, the ground was shaking, and each of the troop carriers stood with eighteen or nineteen people. They were driven by four horses and ran on cement road. They are different from the usual carriages, each of which has a white folding sail on it. The sail is about six feet high and eight feet wide. Once the wind is down, the sail will be stretched to pinnacle, in conjunction with the war horse to speed up the Speed.
When the head winds, the soldiers on the carriage fold the sails with the fastest Speed. This is what Zhang Shouzhi said in accordance with Wang Chong, which was created using the principle of sails. I hope that the fastest Speed will be able to transport Qixi Protectorate Army to Talas.
All the way into the Western Region, Wang Chong's frowned slowly and unconsciously.
This war was more intense for influence in the Western Regions than imagined. When I saw Hu Luyige before Wang Chong, I had been to the Western Regions. At that time, the Western Regions were extremely prosperous. The merchants of the nine surnames Zhaowu, 36 in the Western Regions, and Caliphate and Charax Spasinu are gathered here, with all kinds of pearls, agates, and spices. Businessmen from precisely countries gathered here to achieve the prosperity and prosperity of the Western Region.
But Wang Chong entered the Western Regions this time, almost all the bazaars were in depression, and no one figure was visible. The cities passing along the road almost turned into empty cities, with a tense smell everywhere.
"It seems that the battle of Great Tang and Caliphate is bigger than the influence in the Western Regions. All Hu's traders felt danger and withdrew in advance.
Wang Chong rides White-hoofed Shadow and looks at the tall and short surrounding buildings. Such a huge city, the streets are empty, and only a few people can be seen in Wang Chong. And they all looked nervously in the distance, and dare not approach. Scout just glanced in the direction of those people, the next moment, all the windows and doors closed immediately.
"Zhang Que, is there anything wrong?"
Wang Chong said.
"Back to Lord Marquis, all the hawks already are spread over fifty miles around, and have not been what difference. In addition, a letter from Xu Keyi General and Quest already are completed. They are about a hundred miles ahead of us. Xu Keyi General asks if we need to wait for us to join together?"
Zhang Que rode a horse and followed quickly.
"No need. Tell them, speed up Speed. Karluks Tribe, no one is allowed to pull down!"
Wang Chong. Speaking of the last word, the Wang Chong's sound suddenly became extremely cold.
"Hu People is fearful but not ethical." The Karluks department is the key to this war. Gao Xianzhi is still too conceited, and conceited that these Mercenary(-ies) will never betray. hire, hire, these people work on money, and Gao Xianzhi specially arranged them behind Great Army, which is a self-digging grave.
But now when I change Wang Chong, everything is completely different. "Truthless soldiers", war is a national matter, and it affects the Royal Court society and the people of Li Min. Any kindness is the benevolence of a woman and is not desirable by the generals. If Karluks betrays Great Tang, be prepared to pay the worst price!
"... In addition, with the order, swap the horses of the troop carrier and the Cavalry horses and speed up the march Speed!"
Wang Chong Road.
"Yes, Lord Marquis!"
Zhang Que bowed down on horseback, and quickly led away.
When Zhang Que departed, Wang Chong's's eyes flickered, and he soon fell on the black, Great Army endlessly. Different from the rush of the first battle of the Southwest, this time can be said to be the most fully prepared Wang Chong, hundred thousand more Great Army, each unit fully cooperate, all the supplies are all in place, one car, one car, There is a lot of traffic, and the cement road newly built by Anxi and Qixi is constantly flowing.
But the marching Speed is still too slow. Infantry, followers, axe soldier(s), spear soldier(s), these unit marches Speed and Cavalry are completely different. What's more, there are a considerable number of Carriage Crossbow in the Wang Chong's team. Carriage Crossbow is also called a bed crossbow. Each specific product is extremely large, and because it is made of the best steel, each one is extremely heavy. A troop carrier can only carry two or three Carriage Crossbows. This alone, the Wang Chong's march Speed will not be fast.
However, Wang Chong already is working hard to speed up the march, whether it is a small sail loaded on a troop carrier, or the horses pulling the carriages and the Cavalry horses are interchanged, so that the horses can get enough rest and try to keep as much All of this is to speed up the march Speed to the utmost, and rush to the city of Talas in advance.
Time passes day by day, the closer to the northwest, the more intense the atmosphere of war, and the more the cities are depressed and killed.
About three days later, in front of us, the wind and sand scream, and under the dark clouds in the sky, a magnificent city with a clear military town style gradually comes into view. This city is very different from other cities. Every ten feet or so on the city wall, there is a Yantai, and there is a mix of observation towers. This is only used by military soldier.
"Is this the four towns of Anxi?"
Wang Chong in mind secretly thought.
For the entire Western Region, Great Tang is best known for its Anxi towns such as Suyab, Kucha, Hotan, and Kashgar. It is also where Great Tang Anxi Protectorate General is located. To travel from Qixi to Talas, Anxi is a must. Although previous life Wang Chong has long heard of the name of the four towns of Anxi, it has never had the opportunity to reach there, let alone fate.
"jià!"
Wang Chong suddenly caught a horse's belly from the end of the team and headed forward. Behind him, Xu Keyi and others glanced at each other and quickly followed.
Anxi's architecture is far from being as refined as Central Plains, with a rough taste everywhere. Wang Chong took everyone on horseback, and finally saw the face of leaving the four towns of Anxi. This huge city was built very rough, and the whole was built with huge blocks of rock. The surface was covered with thick layers of mud to form this huge and ancient city. .
For many years at Anxi, the surface of this city has long been covered with swords and traces of warfare. Many places have remnants of smoke and fire, and even some places can see signs after the trebuchet throws. Frequent warfare has stained the city with a layer of black and red.
"Suyab City!"
Wang Chong looked up and saw three mottled characters on the gate at a glance. Seeing these three characters, Wang Chong shook his heart slightly:
"I can't think of this city!"
Among the four towns of Anxi, Wang Chong has the most intimacy and the most familiar one is the legendary Suyab City. The reason is very simple. In another time and space, here is the birthplace of the precisely generation of poetry fairy, and many births Frontier Famous General. The farthest frontier town of Great Tang is this Suyab City.
Great Army moves forward slowly and vigorously, all the way into Suyab City. This formerly defensive military town, with the launch of Gao Xianzhi and more than 30,000 Anxi Protectorate Army, has now become an undefended city. The entire Suyab City city gate opened wide, and no one was stationed at all.
"Lord Marquis, there is a stele here!"
Just a few dozen feet away from the city gate, Zhang Que suddenly pointed to the sidewalk.
Wang Chong stopped suddenly. This is a huge stone monument. After wind, sun, rain, and long time polishing, already became very mottled. If you don't look closely, you thought it was a piece of brown big rock lying on the side of the road. But Wang Chong just looked at it and couldn't help jumping.
"On behalf of the sky!"
Wang Chong recognized it at a glance.
previous life, before the family was born, Wang Chong had never been to Beijing, let alone the Western Regions. Even in the days of wandering, I have never been there. In the Western Regions, the names of the Anxi four Great Army important towns are like Lei Guaner, but there is one thing that is even more famous than the four Anxi four towns, that is, the "Daitian Xunkai Monument".
Wang Chong had heard of this stone while the boy was literate. In fact, I am afraid that there are not many people who do not know this monument. Because it was a very special character.
Ban Chao!
In the history of Central Divine Continent, the first generation of Anxi Great Protectorate in the true sense!
Although in the history of Central Plains, for the first time to open up the Western Regions, it was in Zhangye's hands to extend the power of Central Plains to the Western Regions. But really dominates here, with influence power, but the class Chao hundreds of years later! On the site of the Western Regions, the Central Plains dynasties continued to gain and lose, and even disconnected for hundreds of years. The Western Regions Great Protectorate, which had been in the middle, were innumerable. But it really goes back. The first generation of the Western Region Great Protectorate, precisely, the Han Dynasty, more than a thousand years ago, as a scholar to vote for Congrong Ban Chao.
"Although the Western Region is far away, it is also the place where the Central Plains civilization became king. The emperor is hard to care for. I am a subordinate of the emperor and will hunt on behalf of the emperor! Forever kingdom guardian gate !!!"
The class was supervised in the Western Regions of the year, and the remarks made by the class were deafening. I do n’t know how many generations of benevolent people have been inspired, generation after generation, from generation to generation, successor to success, to open the western region of Xinjiang. This is where Great Tang is today in the western region! The place where Ban Chao stands is said to be the place where Zhangye first went out of the year and the farthest place Zhangye has ever arrived!
This stone monument has always been a place protected by heavy soldiers of Protectorate General.
Only later, Talas was defeated in the first battle, Great Tang was defeated, Gao Xianzhi 30,000 elite troops was completely destroyed, Caliphate People's military force(s) came along, they passed Cong Ridge and entered the Anxi four towns. The first one to destroy was in their eyes. "Evil End
"Daitian Xunkai Stele", even the fragments were dragged back to Caliphate and discarded into the sea.
In the news that year, China Central Divine Continent did not know how many people felt heartache. Wang Chong is also distraught, as a lifelong regret!
This time I sent troops to the Western Regions and went to Talas, Wang Chong did not expect it. I will have to make a wish, and I will see this "Daitian Xunkai Monument".
These thoughts flew by my head. When Wang Chong's heart moved, a bang, in the eyes of everyone's surprise, suddenly turned over from White-hoofed Shadow.
"Relax, this time, Caliphate People will never have any chance to set foot in the country of Great Tang !!"
Wang Chong has a heavy heart, bowed respectfully and respectfully, and has a heart of secretly thought. I don't know how much the loyalty and dreams of the Chinese Central Divine Continent were entrusted to this stone monument. This is their dream and the dream of the entire Central Divine Continent. Wang Chong will never allow this dream to be tarnished.
"Let's go!"
Wang Chong took a deep breath, quickly turned over, greeted everyone, and drove towards Suyab City.
