Waves at the end of Han Dynasty

Chapter 109 Galloping the Western Regions (add more, wish you a happy new year)
Western Regions, west of Shule Kingdom.

Dong Zhuo, the protector of the Western Regions, marched and suppressed bandits, and gradually approached the border of Dawan.

At this time, at the junction of the Silk Road and the desert, a sudden battle formed a temporary battlefield, and the new guard was personally strangling the horse thief.

This personal battle is genuine, because Dong Zhuo rode his horse and rushed to the front of the queue, not the kind of guy who is guarded by a bunch of personal guards, commanding under the banner of the Chinese army as if he is on the front line.

Of course, although Dong Zhuo took the lead, the actual danger was not high. After all, the horse thieves were not as powerful as the regular army. At this time, when they were discovered by the Feixiong army, they all fled in a hurry.

What's more, Dong Zhuo's own martial arts are not weak!

Thanks to the influence of later generations of film and television materials, Dong Zhuosuo's fat and bulky body is still well known, but the reality is that although his body is indeed big and thick, it is all composed of muscles, and it would be more appropriate to describe it as strong !
Honing martial arts in the harsh frontier for a long time has made Dong Zhuo's muscles very strong and his strength is very tyrannical.

Of course, the most powerful thing is his unique riding and shooting skills.

At this time, he sat firmly on the back of the steed, with the center of gravity of his body pressed down, his upper body leaning back slightly, his feet raised and at the same time stepping on the arms of a strong bow, while his hands were nocking arrows and pulling the strings, and he opened the bow and shot at the same time!

Such a difficult movement made him play like a cloud and water, the key is that the hit rate is extremely high!
This is definitely a unique skill among the warriors of the Han Dynasty, even the Hu people who grew up on horseback can't do it...

At this time, Dong Zhuo was hunting like usual, and the fleeing horse thief was his prey!
In a short time, dozens of people died under Dong Zhuo's arrow, which caused the Feixiong army behind them to applaud loudly. While they admired their leader, their morale also rose.

Immediately, not far in front of the horse thief, some figures of Hu Qi appeared. They were the Qiang Shengbing soldiers led by Guo Si and Dong Xiao, and they were already encircling the horse thief.

Dong Zhuo, who has excellent eyesight, also saw Guo Si and the others, so he shouted and urged the left and right wings to spread out, ready to catch the rest of the thieves.

Horse thieves are always thieves. Their numbers are small, their combat power is not strong, and their armor is weak. The key point is that they have no fighting spirit.

As a result, some people in the horse thief's cavalry began to slow down their horses and get out of the queue...

It doesn't matter if you run away or surrender, you can't follow the big army to die anyway!

Under such a situation, the battle ended quickly.

----

After finishing the post-war statistics, Niu Fu accelerated to catch up with Dong Zhuo and said:
"My lord, there are more than one hundred horse thieves killed in this battle, three hundred and seven captured, and more than four hundred horses. The rest of the supplies are useless. Counting the ones I strangled the day before yesterday, we are now No. 13 horse thieves .”

Dong Zhuo pulled the rein to stop the steed, and after listening to the report, he laughed and said:
"In this way, the horse thieves here must be gone, but it's a pity that no one will train me for Feixiong this time, hahahaha, order the sacrificial wine to quickly lead the army to come to take care of the follow-up, and then let Guo Xiaowei choose a place to camp , the whole army rests!"

Dong Zhuo felt much more comfortable after taking Liu Ai out for the expedition this time.

This person can not only put forward such practical suggestions as killing horse thieves in one fell swoop, but also handle the logistics of the entire army properly, so that he no longer has to worry about these trivial matters. It is really useful But that's all.

Seeing the continuous growth of his flying bear army, Dong Zhuo felt very happy.

Now the Flying Bear Army has not only improved its combat power, but also greatly improved its adaptability to the harsh environment of the Western Regions in the process of encircling and suppressing the horse thieves. Moreover, these victories did not consume much supplies. The various materials seized from the horse thieves' lair are completely enough for Dong Zhuojun to achieve With the purpose of fighting to support the war, there is even a large amount of surplus...

You must know that Emperor Xiaowu spent a lot of military supplies in his westward expedition to Dawan. If he can successfully conquer Dawan this time, then this feat will be enough to brag about for a lifetime!
In addition, Dong Zhuo's prestige in the Western Regions was gradually established by taking advantage of the demise of the horse thieves.

After all, these thieves can be regarded as a major obstacle to the merchants on the Silk Road. The safety and profits of their merchants will be greatly improved if they are wiped out. Dong Zhuo's ruling in the Western Regions was also a great help.

In recent days, businessmen passing by have been sending laborers' belongings, which is the best proof.

Thinking of this, Dong Zhuo's mood improved, and he trusted the new sacrificial wine even more...

After the messenger left, Dong Zhuo asked Niu Fu next to him:

"When will the reinforcements from the Tongsi Kingdom arrive, and have you reported it?"

Niu Fu was about to answer, but he heard someone in the distance shouting: "Report—" It turned out that it was Tan Mafei who came to tell Dong Zhuo:
"The five thousand fine cavalry from the Tongsi Kingdom have arrived at the twenty-mile point here, and their messengers say that the whole army will come to join them tomorrow!"

Long before the expedition, Li Ru reached an agreement with the envoys from Tongsi Kingdom who came to congratulate him, and the two sides joined forces to conquer Dawan.

Although he won a series of victories in suppressing horse thieves along the way, Dong Zhuo knew that Dawan could not compare with these weak thieves, not to mention Li Ru and Liu Ai reminded himself more than once that this battle was not easy.

Although Dawan's military strength is average, the number of troops is extremely large, probably no less than [-]. I heard that they have formed an alliance with Wusun and Guishuang, and they have a geographical advantage. They really cannot be underestimated.

The key point is that Dong Zhuo cannot be defeated in this battle. If he loses, there will be great political troubles. Not only the countries in the Western Regions may no longer surrender, but the imperial court will also take action. After all, they already know that the Western Regions are a big fat Meat.

Therefore, Dong Zhuo had to wait for the army from the Tongsi Kingdom to arrive before marching together, and he must not underestimate the enemy.

Ever since General Ouyang swept the Western Regions back then, the Dawan Kingdom, which had not experienced any wars, unexpectedly gradually became a powerful country in the Western Regions other than the Han, and even faintly surpassed Wusun, who had been suppressed many times.

Because the King of Dawan made the wisest choice and saw the situation clearly and took refuge in Ouyang Long who had just arrived. Although Dawan paid some price, compared with the tragic situation of other rebellious Western Regions, its national strength has been greatly improved. Better reserved.

Later, the Silk Road was reopened, and Dawan's special sweat horse became the best-selling item again, which also made them a lot of money.

After decades of accumulation, Dawan can be regarded as a prosperous country and a strong country. This time, taking advantage of the replacement of the Western Regions, it finally began to challenge the authority of the big man...

Of course, if he wins, Dong Zhuo's rule in the Western Regions will be extremely stable. In addition, Dawan's special products will also become a new source of income for the Protectorate of the Western Regions. This is recruiting!
And the reason why Tongsi Kingdom is willing to do its best to come to help is naturally because of this "special product"...

----

The camp was set up soon, and Dong Zhuo led the generals into the big tent.

He was going to hold a summary meeting to discuss recent gains and losses as well as various tactics to eliminate horse thieves.

If you want to expand your army in the future, the people under your command need to improve a lot.

If you lose, it will be painful to learn the lessons. Now that we have won a big victory, it is easy for everyone to accept it.

What Dong Zhuo cared more about was discussing with Liu Ai about the conquest of Dawan alone after the meeting, but now Liu Ai was still dealing with logistics outside the account, so he could only deal with these straight-headed generals first.

After he made a little introduction, the tent gradually became lively, Niu Fu, Guo Si, Dong Xiao, Hua Xiong and others expressed their opinions...

However, at this moment, the sky suddenly darkened, and tengu solar eclipses appeared one after another!

"Come here, order Liu Jijiu to be credited quickly, you wait and go down to rest...!"
