Three hundred miles, a fast horse can reach one day, but it took six days to march normally.

So when Gao Zhan saw Shache City in the wind and sand, the gate was already closed, and there was no sound at all that was quiet above the city. If it weren't for the shaking of people from time to time, Gao Zhan almost thought he had arrived in a dead city.

"Come here, surround this city for me, within a radius of fifty miles, clear the site!" After watching for a long time, Gao Zhan decided to be very moved. It was really not a big deal to always look down from below.

Since the "fangs" team went to the autumn of the second year of Zhenguan, they have been doing "clearing the market". Whether it was in the grassland or later in the Western Regions, Gao Zhan did not need to make careful arrangements at all. In the blink of an eye, only more than 400 people were left, and the rest were all scattered.

"Dear Tang general, this is Shache City, the Kingdom of Khotan. We have no intention of being enemies with you, please do not attack us." After the people who "cleared the field" dispersed, the defenders in Shache City became more nervous, and their voices were trembling.

As the saying goes, experts can tell if there is any. Everyone is making a living in the Western Regions. When the defenders in Shache City saw the posture of their "fangs" scattered, they immediately realized that the army outside was not the army they imagined that they were not familiar with the combat in the Western Regions.

Based on the knights' posture on the horse and their cooperation in action, it can be seen that these people have a very tacit cooperation, and the kung fu on the horse is not weaker than those of the knights in the Western Regions.

"Let your city lord come out, what qualifications are you, a small guard?" Although Gao Zhan's status is not high, the commander of the Zhechong Prefecture is already a big official position for the locals in the Western Regions. He can command more than 1,200 soldiers alone, and he can already be compared with the generals of some small countries in the Western Regions.

"I, I am the highest commander here. The city lord has run away." The guard on the top of the city showed half of his head and shouted at the top of the voice, with an indescribable grievance in his voice.

"Running?" Gao Zhan looked at the captain of the sixth squadron beside him and couldn't help but smile contemptuously.

"Would you mess with them?" The captain of the Sixth Squadron looked at Shachecheng, which was not tall, and there was a smell of blood all around him.

"What are we doing? We don't know how many people are in the city. There is no benefit in attacking rashly. Let's wait until the army arrives." Although Gao Zhan looked down on these Western Regions locals, his years of experience still told him that the more this time, the more cautious he should be.

Although the bastard in the city said that the city lord ran away, no one knows whether it is true or not. If the most elite army of the Tang Dynasty was used to make unnecessary tests, even Xue Rengui would not do such extravagant things here.

"Ah..." A scream came faintly, attracting the attention of Gao Zhan and others.

"Dear Tang generals, those outside are innocent people of Khotan. Please show mercy to your subordinates." The defending generals on the city also heard the scream and couldn't help but speak again.

However, once he did not receive any answer from Gao Zhan, and the killing of the "fangs" continued.

At this moment, there are no innocent people who appear around Shache City except spies. And even if there are, it is no big deal to kill one or two on the battlefield.

In the Tang Dynasty, which was common in the massacre of cities, there was no international law or convention. If it wandered on the edge of the battlefield and was killed by someone, it would be killed, and there was no place to find reason.

The defenders of Shache City, shocked by the thousand "fangs" brought by Gao Zhan, did not dare to show up in the end. They allowed them to clean up the outside of the city and then retreated without saying a word.

Time passed day by day, and three days later, the army arrived, and more than 15,000 troops blocked all four gates of Shache City.

"Baolin, how about getting involved with him tomorrow? It's been three days, my brothers are holding back their energy and waiting for your order to give it." During the evening party, Gao Zhan approached Yuchi Baolin and muttered in a low voice.

After spending a long time together, these guys have a good relationship in private, so they don’t need to call each other.

But Yuchi Baolin, who was determined to win before going to the war, turned his eyes and said, "What are you doing? What are you doing now? Without the orders above, you dare to start a war without authorization?"

"Ah? If you don't hit, why are we here for if you don't hit?" Gao Zhan said with a bitter expression and a little dissatisfied.

"Is this called shocking? It's called scaring people." Yuchi Baolin said: "If we don't make an offensive attitude, what do other countries think of us? Will they not pay military funds? If no one pays, will we go to war with the entire Western Regions at the same time?" Although Yuchi Baolin was silly, he was not stupid, and he still had some scruples that should be good.

"Then we'll be around here?" Gao Zhan asked with some depression.

"Who said? We can practice it and take out our latest weapons and let these local bullies see it." Dong Jiansen raised his eyebrows and winked Gao Zhan. Without asking, he knew that this guy was thinking about the group of later Rocket Forces.

What will happen if a group of young people with strong backers come together? You can know without asking about this. The next day, a row of five bamboo tubes about one meter long were placed outside the gate on the east side of Shache City.

"Hey, Lao Dong, what are the things in those bamboo tubes?" Gao Zhan asked inexplicably as he looked at the dozen so-called Rocket Army soldiers busy in front of him.

"Ask me, who will I ask? Since I was robbed from the caravan halfway, these guys have been mysteriously unable to show up. Only then did they know what they were making." Dong Jiansen rolled his eyes and turned his eyes to the five bamboo tubes in front.

In fact, not only Gao Zhan, but also Dong Jiansen and others were curious, but the defenders of Khotan in the city were also very curious, and they all looked at the dozens of people outside the city busy there.

"Are you ready? My head is about to be sunny, don't tell me to wait any longer." Yuchi Baolin had been spinning around the bamboo tube for about twenty times, and was sunny in the April sun in the desert, and his armor was faintly hot.

"It's already done." Yu Ning, the commander of the Rocket Force, said slowly after slowly checking all the bamboo tubes. As for Yuchi Baolin's anxious look, he seemed to have not seen it at all.

The firearms unit is equivalent to the modern missile unit for the Tang Dynasty, so the generals of the firearms unit can be regarded as high-level intellectuals, and there is absolutely no reason to despise the local bullies such as Yuchi Baolin who do not know the big words.
