The killing continued until nightfall.
When the wolf-like and tiger-like Great Zhou warriors rushed into the devastated Tulu City Fortress and launched a ruthless massacre, there were not many people left who could resist.
In this western expedition, in addition to recruiting 50,000 iron cavalry, Wang Chen also recruited seven fifth-tier Martial Sect and hundreds of Fourth Tier Martial General to accompany them, specifically responsible for dealing with scattered enemy masters.
Tulu tribe suffered heavy losses in the battle against Hanhai City, and now not even half of their strength is left. Their core combat strength was huddled in the walled city and was bombarded by hundreds of artillery pieces.
Doomed!
"The entire clan will be wiped out, leaving no chickens or dogs behind!"
This was an ironclad order issued by Wang Chen, and then various tribal dignitaries were searched out from the secret rooms of the cellar, dragged out like dead dogs, and beheaded.
At the same time, a large amount of gold and silver property was also found.
That night, a feast to celebrate victory was held on the grassland three miles away from Tulu City Fortress.
The wood dismantled from the walled city was chopped into firewood, and piles of bonfires were set up. The fat cattle and sheep were dragged to the stream, slaughtered and cleaned, then cut into pieces, smeared with salt and spices, and roasted on the fire.
The strong aroma of barbecue quickly drowned out the faint smell of burning meat coming from a distance.
Wang Chen Took out the wine from the big altar and asked people to distribute it to all the soldiers to enjoy together.
In addition to recruiting tens of thousands of elite cavalry for this Western Expedition, he also looted several county treasuries, including Hanhai Commandery and West Sea, and stored a large amount of supplies in Cangqing Ring.
In addition to wine and meat, Wang Chen also distributed large sums of confiscated gold and silver.
The morale of the cavalry reached full value instantly!
They followed Wang Chen on the western expedition. Although the journey was hard, they never had to worry about food and clothing. They galloped invincibly, killing enemies and annihilating tribes as if they were walking on the ground. This kind of joy and satisfaction in victory is definitely an unparalleled enjoyment.
In the minds of all Knight, Wang Chen is already a god-like existence.
Everyone believes that they will definitely win the final victory!
The next day, this Great Zhou Western Expeditionary Army set off again and embarked on a new journey.
Three days later, Hudi tribe died.
Ten days later, White Wolf tribe was destroyed.
Since a small number of members of the three major tribes managed to escape, the reputation of this cavalry army quickly spread in all directions.
In people's descriptions, Western Expeditionary Army, who frequently exterminated people, was like an army of demons.
And Wang Chen, who led them, became the terrifying Great Devil King.
With his overwhelming reputation, Wang Chen went all the way north in the original territory of Great Yan. There was no resistance wherever he went. Every city and county rushed to welcome the king's master, trying their best to flatter him.
After Great Yan was overthrown by Great Zhou, the new rule was not stable and rebellions occurred from time to time.
Especially in recent years, Jixi Great Qin has continuously sent people to sneak into Yandi to cause trouble, colluding with the remnants of Great Yan and waiting for opportunities to cause trouble.
The invasion of Hanhai Commandery by the three major tribes is a total outbreak!
Now that all three major clans have been wiped out, and hundreds of thousands of people have been slaughtered, everyone is aware of the brutality of the Western Expeditionary Army, and all of them remain silent.
Many local Yan people officials even offered gold, silver and even wives and daughters to Wang Chen, just to protect themselves.
For these frightened guys, Wang Chen accepted the gold and silver they offered, but rejected the woman.
He is not Cao thief.
In addition, Wang Chen also supplemented the number in Yandi, increasing the number of the Western Expeditionary Army to 65,000.
In the process of annihilating the three major clans, Western Expeditionary Army seized hundreds of thousands of horses, further increasing its strength.
But the fastest improvement is the combat effectiveness of the entire cavalry!
With each victory, Western Expeditionary Army's blade was sharpened and its ferocious fangs were revealed.
After a short rest, Wang Chen marched westward towards the territory of Great Qin.
Great Qin and Yandi are not directly adjacent to each other, but are separated by long mountains and the vast Gobi desert.
But as this huge empire turned its coveted eyes to the east, the Qin Kingdom people opened up a passage in Yuntian Mountain and built a large pass.
In fact, the collision between Great Qin and Great Zhou did not happen suddenly. Originally, Great Qin had the intention to invade and conquer Yan Kingdom, but now the target has been changed to Great Zhou.
The Great Qin people call the fortress they built "Gujin Pass", which means impregnable.
Three days later, Western Expeditionary Army led by Wang Chen arrived at Gujin Pass and set up a camp twenty miles away from the Guanqiang.
"Master Imperial Master, that is Gujin Pass."
A gray-haired local guide respectfully pointed to the fortress between the mountains in the distance and said to Wang Chen, "Qin people has at least 50,000 troops stationed there."
Gujin Pass was not built in a day or two, but because Yan Kingdom was destroyed by Great Zhou, and Great Zhou's rule was unstable and could not cover the border areas, it was successfully stolen by Qin people.
Not only that, the Qin army also pretended to be bandits and attacked the place, plundering a large number of young men and taking them back to build the city.
This Yan people guide was one of them, and he managed to escape.
Because he suffered misfortune during the construction of Gujin Pass, he hated Qin people deeply.
Bring your own dry food and take the initiative to volunteer, and also lead the way for the Western Expeditionary Army.
Wang Chen nodded and said, "Reward."
After using the bounty to send away the guide, Wang Chen and the military leader Major General discussed a plan to attack Gujin Pass.
Western Expeditionary Army are all cavalry. Although everyone can use firecrackers and there are a group of artillerymen among them, how can we capture this great pass without a large number of professional infantry combatants and matching equipment?
According to the guide, the city wall of Gujin Pass is more than a hundred feet high, the top is wide enough to accommodate two chariots traveling side by side, and it is equipped with various defense facilities.
And artillery weapons were deployed!
The most important thing is that behind this fortress is a huge empire. With the logistical support of Chidao and the 50,000 elite Qin army guards, it is no exaggeration to say that it is impregnable.
Gujin Pass is clearly one of the bridgeheads for Great Qin's eastward invasion. Although the main force of the Qin army is currently confronting Wu Zhao and Ling Zhiyuan in the north, as long as there is an opportunity, the 50,000 Qin soldiers stationed in this fortress can enter Yan at any time to cause trouble.
This is why Wang Chen is determined to capture Gujin Pass!
The generals all frowned.
Gujin Pass defends the dangerous terrain with almost no flaws. How can Western Expeditionary Army without a large siege equipment break this copper-walled and iron-clad fortress?
Wang Chen noticed their expressions and said with a smile, "I will be responsible for opening the city gate of Gujin Pass."
Everyone suddenly became energetic and looked at each other.
If anyone else had said this, everyone would definitely just think it was a joke.
But Wang Chen said this, who dares not to believe it?
So the plan to attack Gujin Pass was planned around the situation when the city gate was opened.
