Chapter 400: Coming to Loulan

Because the Ministry of Military Affairs had prepared for the third Western Expedition for several years, it had hoarded a lot of war materials in Suzhou Prefecture and was very prepared.

Because the Western Regions were a mess, their strength was very weak, so the war went very smoothly from August of the seventh year of Ganli to the end of the year.

Before the Chinese New Year, the military affairs department handed over the results of the military report to the Secretariat, twenty Western Region countries had already joined Dakan and were under the jurisdiction of the Dakan Western Region Protectorate.

Of course, not all of these twenty countries were captured by the military army. Seven or eight small countries surrendered voluntarily, and three or four small countries were forced to surrender. Less than ten small countries who have actually fought with the military army.

In the spring of the eighth year of Ganli, the Gan army continued to advance westward, but the situation suddenly changed and the war was no longer as smooth as before.

Because the three major powers west of the Western Regions, Yuezhi, Dayuan and Kangju, did not know whether they had noticed Dagan's active alliance in the war against the Western Regions or were connected by someone, but they sent troops to the Western Regions together and began to organize the remaining dozen small countries in the Western Regions to fight against the Gan Army together.

According to the investigation of spies from the Yu Ministry, Yuezhi, Dayuan and Kangju are said to be big countries, but in fact they are only large compared to those small countries in the Western Regions. In fact, their population is only about one million.

What really put the third Western Expedition in shadow was that behind the Three Kingdoms' intervention in the Western Regions, there was a faint shadow of the Kushan Empire.

The Kushan Empire was a true Central Asian power. Although it was not as good as the Central Plains dynasties of all dynasties, it also had a population of tens of millions and hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.

And the population base is there, so there will naturally be no fewer experts.

Seeing that the war was stalemate, it was slowly coming to summer, and it would take more than a year to continue, which would likely affect the subsequent battle against Yingzhou Island overseas. Ouyang Ye left the Shendu Luoyang again and headed for the Western Regions.

Compared to the past, Ouyang Ye has Tiger Feathers as his mount this time. Although he is definitely not as quick as he can get on the road with all his strength, it is much more comfortable and even gives people a feeling of leisure.

After driving the tiger feathers to the Western Regions, Ouyang Ye directly found Loulan, where the base camp of the Western Expedition Army was located.

Therefore, his trip was intended to shock the countries in the Western Regions and the people of various places, so he first let Huyu circle about a hundred feet above Loulan City.

Baizhang is not very high, and Huyu vaguely understands Ouyang Ye’s intentions and makes loud croaking sounds from time to time, which almost attracted the attention of the whole city as soon as it appeared.

Suddenly, some of the nobles and wealthy businessmen in the city were running in panic, some of them were screaming excitedly, and the noise came one after another—

"God, how could there be such a big eagle?!"

"It seems that someone is on the eagle's back. Could it be a god?"

"The gods have come down to earth!"

"The gods must be here to help us destroy these enemies in the East! Yes, that must be the case!"

"Speak quietly, you will be beheaded when you hear that those who are fucking you."

"What are we afraid of? We have gods! I knew that gods would not abandon us!"

“···”

When the people in the city were in panic and boiling emotions, the soldiers of the army were all as if they were facing a great enemy - in the big fight, only a few people knew that Ouyang Ye had tamed the strange birds, and most of the soldiers of the army did not know about this.

Some kids even nervously raised the eight-ox crossbow and prepared to shoot arrows at the tiger feathers.

Those soldiers carrying automatic crossbows had already pointed the crossbow arrows towards the sky.

Fortunately, the senior general of the Ganjun inspecting outside also responded in time. Seeing this, he quickly raised his anger and shouted: "No arrows are allowed! The one above is Your Majesty!"

This senior general has the strength of the True Qi Realm. With his eyesight, he could easily see Ouyang Ye on the back of the tiger feather at a distance of hundreds of feet. Therefore, he was also very nervous at this time, for fear that someone would shoot a crossbow arrow at Ouyang Ye when he was nervous.

Although Ouyang Ye will definitely not be able to hurt Ouyang Ye, and even Ouyang Ye may not pursue it, the general above the scene will definitely not spare him easily.

Fortunately, the soldiers of the Gan Army are very skilled, and there is no such thing as anyone firing an arrow in a tight manner.

Ouyang Ye stood on Huyu's back and saw that the shock was achieved, he signaled Huyu to land in the camp in Loulan City.

At this time, the marshal Gao Qiang and all the generals in the base camp of the Western Expedition Army in Loulan City also came outside the camp after hearing the noise.

Seeing Ouyang Ye jumping down from the tiger feather's back and landing on the ground, without even a trace of dust rising up, I couldn't help but sigh that Ouyang Ye's martial arts were even more unfathomable.

At the same time, under Gao Qiang's leadership, these people saluted Ouyang Ye together (the military salute in the army, which is Ouyang Ye's regulations), and said in unison: "See Your Majesty!"

"No gift!"

Ouyang Ye responded with a loud voice, and after everyone stood up, he would walk towards the largest tent in the camp first.

There may not be a tent where Gao Qiang sleeps, but it must be a big tent for the camp to discuss matters.

In Loulan City.

First, I heard the senior general shouting "Your Majesty above", and then I saw Ouyang Ye riding the tiger feathers into the Ganjun camp. The people of Loulan Kingdom were nothing, at most, there was a little more awe in their eyes when they looked at Ganjun.

But the faces of the nobles of the Loulan Kingdom looked ugly, especially those who had shouted "He is born to help eliminate the army" before, stood there directly.

They can't react now-

The gods who came on the eagle were not here to help us?

But the emperor who is doing big things... the emperor who is doing big things?

The camp in Loulan City is not big, but it is just a Gaoqiang personal guard brigade stationed.

As the base camp of the Western Expedition Army, Loulan is not only stationed in the city with a marshal's personal guard brigade stationed in the city, but also an army is stationed outside the city.

Ouyang Ye entered the tent and sat down directly in the marshal's position. When a group of generals who were qualified to enter the tent to discuss matters stood up, he said to Gao Qiang directly: "Let's talk about the current frontline situation first."

"yes!"

Gao Qiang responded, and then used the Western Regions military map in the big tent to tell Ouyang Ye about the specific situation of the current Western Expedition.

Because the Western Regions are vast and the targets of the Gan Army's expeditions are mostly small countries, the Gan Army has always divided its troops to attack, and at most it can be divided into more than a dozen routes to carry out military operations.

Starting this year, the three kingdoms of Yuezhi, Dayuan and Kangju intervened in the war in the Western Regions, and the remaining small countries in the Western Regions also united with each other. Only then did the Gan army change its combat mode and march with large troops.

But even so, the Gan Army is still divided into three routes, north and south.

This branch is mainly because there are three main business roads continuing westward from Loulan, and most of the cities in small countries are gathered near the three business roads.

As for the three main business roads, there is a desert.

But perhaps because of the abundant vitality of this world, there are many deserts in the Western Regions, but they are not very serious.

It is also because of this that these small countries in the Western Regions existed, and even the business roads that guarded the East-West Silk Road were quite wealthy.

After introducing the current progress of the war between the three armies of the North and South Central Army on the front line, Gao Qiang finally said: "In fact, in terms of military armor and the strength of ordinary soldiers, the reinforcements sent by the Yuezhi, Dayuan and Kangju three countries are not as flexible as us, and the command is not as flexible as ours because of the Alliance Army.

However, there are a group of masters with mysterious martial arts in their army, who are very proficient in assassination, and most of them are selfless and fearless. So far, six or seven generals of our army have died at the hands of these people."

The only person who can be called a general by the marshal Gao Qiang is at least a general at the first level of the battalion, so this situation is already quite serious.
