Great Tang Dynasty

Chapter 2621

Dashiguo and Asmo had 14 soldiers and horses at the beginning, and the horses brought by these 14 soldiers and horses were a lot.

However, now they only have more than 4 people left, and there are still a lot of horses left, except for some who ran away or were burned to death.

And with so many horses, if they were killed and eaten, they would definitely be able to sustain them for half a month.

After all, they still have some food. If the food is paired with horse meat and horse soup, it will last for half a month without any problem.

And they need a few days to clear the way, that is to say, they have ten days to capture the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

As long as the Protectorate of the Western Regions is conquered, there is nothing to worry about.

After Yelushi ordered to go down, soon someone went to kill the horse.

Horses are very important to an army. Many soldiers regard horses as their best friends, and the price of horses is very expensive. A good horse may cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. In terms of food, it may be piled up into a mountain.

But now, they can't get food from other places, so they can only kill horses.

Hearing the screams of those horses, many soldiers of the Great Food Kingdom couldn't bear it. They were a little heartbroken, but there was nothing they could do about it. They had to live and win this victory.

After the food problem was solved, they began to dig snow to open the road.

The heavy snow for three days and three nights almost caused a snow disaster, and this kind of situation can only be seen in places like the Western Regions.

The heavy snow has reached the thigh, and it is not an easy task to shovel off the snow here.

They cannot be melted with fire, because it is too slow, and they cannot use water, because after the water breaks down, it immediately turns into ice.

If the ground is completely frozen, it will be even more troublesome for their march.

They could only shovel the snow to the sides.

And with such a thick snow, even if all of them take action, it will take a long time. After all, they are five kilometers away from the Western Regions Protectorate. This distance is not very far, but if the snow is shoveled, It's far away.

The soldiers of the Great Food Kingdom kept shoveling snow here, and the soldiers of the Tang army could finally breathe a sigh of relief and rest for a few days on the side of the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

And Xu Jian also heaved a sigh of relief. According to his estimation, the food and grass in the Great Food Kingdom should not be enough.

However, at this moment, their inspector sent a message.

After seeing the news, Xu Jian's expression turned ugly.

"General, what's the matter?"

Xu Jiandao: "The soldiers and horses of the Dashi Kingdom killed their horses, and they still have a lot of horses that they don't need. These horses can last them for half a month. After a few days, we may have to go back Face them."

If there was no heavy snow to stop them, they might not be able to last for a few days. In that case, the situation would be bad for them, and the Protectorate of the Western Regions might really be broken by the Dashi Kingdom.

"General, what should we do in this situation?"

Xu Jianning frowned, he didn't know what to do, in this situation, they seemed to have no choice but to fight the enemy to the death, right?
Live and die with the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

However, at this time, someone sent another letter.

After reading this letter, Xu Jian's expression relaxed.

"Soldiers don't need to worry, the enemy will not be able to break through the Protectorate of the Western Regions. As long as they come, they will die without a place to bury them."

Everyone looked at each other, and it was clear that the latest news was in their favor.
-
It took four or five days for the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Kingdom to finally open up the road leading to the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

When the road was opened, the soldiers of the Great Food Kingdom were exhausted. These days, they haven't had much rest. Doing this is more tiring than fighting a war.

Therefore, after opening the road, they rested for a day, and then, under the leadership of Yelushi and Asimo, they rushed to the Western Regions Protectorate.

They came to the gate of the Protectorate of the Western Regions. At this time, the Protectorate of the Western Regions was filled with a chill, but the snow had long since disappeared.

Yelushi looked at the city, the anger in his eyes was very strong, very strong, he had already lost almost [-] soldiers and horses, which was simply a shame for their Dashi Nation.

If he can't take down the Protectorate of the Western Regions, he won't have the face to return home.

It's just that the Protectorate of the Western Regions is so difficult to capture, so what qualifications do they have to destroy Datang?

You know, the other cities of the Tang Dynasty are much stronger than the Protectorate of the Western Regions, and the Chang'an City is even higher, towering into the clouds. Where can they attack?

But now, he must capture the Western Regions Protectorate.

Yelushi didn't say any more nonsense, he just glanced at Tang Jun on the tower, then waved his hand and shouted: "Kill me."

With an order, the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Kingdom swarmed to kill them. Now their morale is very strong, and their killing intent is also very strong. It is already at this time. If they are not desperate, they may really not be able to fight. back home.

If they want to live, women and wealth, they can only capture the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

They rushed over frantically. After a few days of rest, the Tang army on the tower was much more energetic than the soldiers and horses of the Great Food Kingdom. Seeing the enemy attack, Xu Jian immediately began to mobilize.

"Kill, kill me."

Sharp arrows flew towards them, and the enemies fell down one after another. However, without the previous snowstorm, the speed of Dashi Kingdom's progress was still much faster. By noon, they had already reached the bottom of the city tower and began to collide with each other. gate, and began to attack the city.

They kept attacking like this. Before dusk, someone had already attacked the city tower, but they were beaten down by the Tang army.

They are constantly vying for the high ground. The Tang army has a little more advantage, but with fewer soldiers and horses, the Dashi Kingdom still has some opportunities.

The two sides kept fighting, and soon a lot of corpses piled up under the city tower. The smell of blood was mixed in the wind, and it was a bit pungent, making people feel that breathing was painful.

After dusk, before night falls.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Food Kingdom still failed to capture the Protectorate of the Western Regions, but every soldier of the Great Food Kingdom saw hope. They only needed half a day, and they were enough to capture the Protectorate of the Western Regions.

But night fell, and the night after the heavy snow turned out to be surprisingly dark.

The soldiers and horses of the Great Food Kingdom did not continue to attack the city, but chose to retreat. Tomorrow, they will definitely be able to capture the Western Regions Protectorate tomorrow.

For this, Yelushi and his soldiers are very confident.

But Xu Jian just smiled lightly.
