Stand-in eunuch: I pamper the harem for the emperor

Chapter 548 Occupying the Holy Land
bang bang bang...

Gunshots rang out, and the Qiang soldiers on the city wall were shot and fell to the ground.

Suddenly, there was even more chaos on the city wall. Many Qiang soldiers were shouting and had no idea what they were talking about.

Soldiers from many military camps in the city began to rush toward the city gate.

A group of people came out of the crowd, holding explosive bags in their hands, and rushed towards the city wall.

"Fire suppression!"

Zhou Hongbin shouted loudly.

The supporting soldiers from a distance aimed at the soldiers who appeared on the city wall and shot them one by one until they could not even raise their heads.

If the Qiang soldiers could block the offensive at this time, attack the oncoming troops and prevent them from blowing up the city gate, then this battle would still be fought.

It's a pity that they don't know what these people who are rushing over are going to do?
Besides, no one organized an effective counterattack.

After all, a message came from above just now, saying that the clan leader wanted to negotiate peace with the Central Empire.

The balance of war was instantly shattered.

Under the intensive gunfire, no Qiang people dared to stand up.

The soldiers who arranged the explosive bags in front took the opportunity to light the explosive bags.

rumbling...

With a deafening roar, the city gate was blown to pieces, and the remaining door frame collapsed.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

Seeing the city gate open, Zhou Hongbin led his cavalry and charged directly in.

"Blow the charge! The army marches into Negese!"

Liu Ruxu ordered loudly.

Six thousand modern equipment and hot weapons, against the Qiang people's swords and spears, would be a one-sided massacre.

The intensive gunfire began to become messy and sparse, and many Qiang people began to flee for their lives.

Zhou Hongbin led the vanguard troops as if they were in uninhabited territory, and directly penetrated Negese, which was not very big in the first place.

From the city gate of the east gate, they fought directly to the west gate. The enemy did not put up any effective resistance and was killed completely in a state of confusion.

……

The other two armies have bypassed Negese and are heading towards Igama, the holy land of the Qiang people in the north.

It is said to be a holy place, but it is actually what the Qiang people call a holy temple, enshrining their worship totem, a golden bird.

Many Qiang people now live in this holy land, and a very strong city wall has been built. It is more steep than Negese, easier to defend and harder to attack.

However, the city's defense is very weak. After all, this city is in the rear and there are two cities in front.

However, General Kong Xin did not prepare to attack the two cities in front, but went deep alone, preparing to capture Igama in one fell swoop.

In this case, the retreat route of the Qiang people will be cut off, and the people in the first two cities will become turtles in the urn.

On the other hand, go all the way west and enter Xin Di Tuo, the home of the Qiang people.

The situation along the way was similar. General Jiang Li marched straight in and followed the main road directly towards the Qiang tribe's lair. To be precise, it was the location of the Qiang tribe leader.

General Jiang Li bypassed the two cities in front of them, and with the speed of their horses, Xin Di Tuo definitely had no defense against them.

Judging from the map, beyond the holy land of the Qiang people, Igema, to the north is the territory of the Yi people.

Therefore, strategically speaking, the occupation of Igema became a threat to the Yi people.

The settlement area of ​​the Miao people is to the south of Negese. Occupying Negese will open the door to the Miao people.

The Great Leap Forward of the second main force of the Empire's Central Army not only occupied the sacred land that the Qiang people were proud of, but also invaded the hinterland of the Qiang people, and also loomed as a threat to the other two ethnic groups.

Of course, all this seems to be Liu Ruxu's credit, but it is Lu Hao who directs her behind the scenes. Only Lu Hao's generosity can make the enemy passive in an instant.As for whether the Qiang clan leader's willingness to negotiate for peace is true or false, it doesn't matter anymore.

Lu Hao just wants to beat them until they are convinced, until they are scared, and until they surrender unconditionally.

Peace talks are nothing but pity from the strong to the weak.

These ethnic minorities do not know how to live or die and want to break away from the empire and become kings on their own. However, they do not have the strength and want to rely on others.

Lu Hao will teach them a lesson this time and let them know that no one can change the situation in the entire southwest.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and under the cover of night, the two groups of soldiers and horses of Kong Xin and Jiang Li headed towards the hinterland of the Qiang people.

Between several large cities, there is still a broad avenue, which is enough for four horses to ride side by side.

嘚嘚嘚...

Two groups of people took advantage of the darkness and galloped forward, causing dust to fly and the momentum to be astonishing.

Now even if the Qiang people discover them, they will think that they are marching at night. Therefore, the two groups of people have no scruples at all, riding their horses and whips, trying to reach the designated point as soon as possible and launch an attack.

According to the order Liu Ruxu gave them, once they arrived, they would immediately launch an attack, use explosives to blow open the city gate, and enter the city to eliminate all resistance forces.

After three hours of galloping, Kong Xin's army was the first to arrive at the holy land of Igama, but it was almost time to be ugly.

At this time, in the holy land of Igama, all the soldiers had fallen asleep. The city gate had long been closed. Only a few soldiers on the city wall were on guard, and they were also drowsy now.

Since the enemy didn't notice at all, Kong Xin immediately issued an order to seize the city gate instead of blowing it up.

Several soldiers with strong martial arts skills flew up the city wall, quietly killed several sentries on the city tower, and opened the city gate naturally.

quack quack...

The door's hinges made a tooth-ache-inducing sound, and finally slowly opened.

"Soldiers, if you enter the city and find enemies, kill them without mercy!"

Kong Xin led the army into the city.

This is the holy land of the Qiang people, and it is in the rear area. Therefore, there are not many soldiers defending it, only a few thousand at most.

Faced with a sudden attack, there was no way to fight back.

"Kill! Kill! Kill..."

Kong Xin gave the order and divided his troops into four groups to attack the center of the city.

"Enemy attack! Enemy attack..."

The alarm bell finally sounded for the Qiang people. Many soldiers woke up from their sleep and rushed out of the military camp with swords and spears in their hands.

bang bang bang...

The dense bullets came at an angle, and the soldiers who had just rushed out fell in a pool of blood.

However, the Qiang soldiers behind had no idea what was going on in front and rushed out.

bang bang bang...

There was another volley, and a group of soldiers behind fell again.

Kong Xin led the army through the center of the city and headed directly towards the temple.

Because there is a group of old Qiang people living there, who basically control the core power of the entire Qiang people.

Kong Xin's mission this time includes capturing these old guys alive.

The Holy Temple sounds nice, but it is actually a temple halfway up the mountain. It is said to have originated in early times, and it also enshrines a fiery red bird worshiped by the Qiang people.
