Chapter 303 Easy Night Raid Battle
On the evening of November 8, 426, in a tent in the camp of Gaochang Team and Xuju Team outside the north gate of Lanbao City, Missa, the commander of Gaochang Country, said to Dong Sheng, the king of Xuju Kingdom with a gloomy face, "I see that the group of Jin people in Lanbao City have no sincerity to release His Highness and Viscount Hanatiram, and are just delaying time."
Dong Sheng, the king of Xuju Kingdom, nodded and sighed, "This group of Jin people actually asked us to take out three million taels of gold before releasing them. It was like a lion's mouth. Even if we emptied the treasury of our Xuju Kingdom, we would not be able to raise this astronomical ransom!"
Dong Ming, the lord of Charlotte City next to him, frowned and said, "What should we do next? The Saint Highness of the Holy Fire Sect and Viscount Hanatiram are still in the hands of this group of Jin people. If we forcefully attack Lanbao City, if this group of Jin people do anything unfavorable to His Saint Highness and Viscount Hanatiram, we will not be able to escape."
Missa sighed and said, "I have sent people to Taras City to report the affairs of Lamborg City to the Governor's Office and the Holy Fire Cult. In addition, I have also sent people to ask for help from the Commander of the Mushimini Legion of Zhuqi Country. All we can do now is to wait patiently. This matter is no longer something we can decide. We just need not let this group of Jin people escape from Lamborg City with His Highness and Viscount Hanatiram. We can also give an explanation to the Governor's Office and the Holy Fire Cult."
Zhu Qiqi is only about 250 miles away from Xuju Kingdom. The entire Zhu Qiqi Kingdom is also composed of a large oasis. However, Zhu Qiqi's area is much larger than that of Xuju Kingdom, which is about 20,000 square kilometers and has a population of 2.3 million. It is currently also a vassal state of Gaochang Kingdom. Gaochang's army is Zhu Qiqi Kingdom stationed four 10,000 teams, and the commander of these four 10,000 teams is the commander of the army Mushimini.
The Legion is the largest unit among the military forces of the Western Regions, with several or more than 100,000 teams under it. Hanatiram, who was captured by Liu Ji, was also the commander of the army in Gaochang State.
There are 28 vassal states in the jurisdiction of the Great Governor of the East of Gaochang State. Among the 28 vassal states, the strongest military power is the total population of only 2.3 million, but it has 250,000 troops. The combat effectiveness of its army is also very strong. More than a hundred years ago, it was also one of the sixteen vassal states of the Great Jin Dynasty in the Western Regions.
When Missa heard that he had sent people to Taras City and sent people to ask for help from Gaochang team stationed in Zhuqi Country, the king of Xuju Kingdom and Dong Ming, the lord of Charlotte City, looked at each other, and both showed a look of relief. After all, the saint of the Holy Fire Sect and the son of Haner Apudu, the great governor of the Eastern Governor of Gaochang Country, were kidnapped, and it was too big for them to take it.
Compared with the fact that these two big names were hijacked and the fact that Lanbao City was occupied by the Jin team was simply insignificant.
Dong Sheng, the king of Xuju Kingdom, immediately said: "It is better for Baron Missa to arrange it properly, we..."
Before Dong Sheng could finish his words, a scream suddenly came from outside the tent, followed by a deafening shout of killing. This caused Missa, Dong Sheng, Dong Ming, the other two commanders of Gaochang Kingdom, as well as several generals from the Xuju team in the tent, to change their faces and quickly rushed out of the tent.
When these generals from Gaochang and Xuju states rushed out of the tent, they found countless soldiers from Jin who had already entered the camp, but the soldiers of their two countries were killed in extreme chaos. These generals from Gaochang and Xuju states quickly summoned soldiers from various countries, hoping to repel the Jin team that had attacked.
When Liu Ji learned that there was a secret passage leading to the outside of the city in the lord's mansion in Lanbao City, he immediately summoned all the generals and discussed it. He decided to use this secret passage to raid the enemy camp outside the city at night.
The raid team consisted of Dian Wei, Gao Chong, Wu Yunzhao, Du Ning, Xiao Feng, Luo Kun, Deng Yu, Wu Han, Jia Fu, Kou Xun, a total of ten military generals, and 600 military soldiers from the Wei State.
Only three of the nine hundred Wei Wushus drawn by Liu Ji from the system were killed in the process of capturing Lanbao City, so there are currently 897 Wei Wushushus.
Liu Ji sent 600 Wei Wushang, leaving only nearly 300 Wei Wushang and more than 40 soldiers from the trapped camp in Lanbao City, but Liu Ji was not worried about the safety of Lanbao City at all.
The majority of the 60,000 to 70,000 people in Lanbao City fled from the Great Jin Dynasty. They still recognize Liu Ji's army. Even the original Xuju people in Lanbao City were no different from the Jin people. They did not have any hostility to Liu Ji, the Jin team.
Even the 1,500 soldiers of the Xuju Kingdom who surrendered in Lanbao City did not have much hostility towards Liu Ji, the Jin team. If it weren't for the time being, Liu Ji would have planned to incorporate these 1,500 soldiers of the Xuju Kingdom.
The three cavalry teams of Gaochang Kingdom outside Lanbao City are nominally three thousand cavalry, but in fact only more than two thousand two hundred. The three thousand cavalry of Xuju Kingdom are actually real.
In order to prevent the Jin people from escaping in Lanbao City, the commander of Gaochang State Missa, the king of Xuju Kingdom, sent 500 cavalry from Xuju Kingdom to the east, south and west directions outside Lanbao City. The main force of Gaochang team and Xuju Team were stationed outside the north gate of Lanbao City.
The secret passage leading to the outside of the city in Lanbao City was at the south of Lanbao City. However, the ten generals and 600 Wei soldiers under Liu Ji did not choose to attack the five hundred Xuju cavalry outside the south gate of Lanbao City. Instead, they took a detour outside the north gate of Lanbao City and launched a night attack on the main force of Gaochang team and the Xuju team.
The night attack process can be said to be very smooth. The Gaochang team and the Xuju team did not expect to be sneak attacked. The raided team easily controlled thousands of war horses in the enemy camp at the beginning. After two incense sticks, the raided team solved the three thousand cavalry teams of Gaochang and the 1,500 cavalrymen of the Xuju country outside the north gate of Lanbao City. The reason for this ease was that it had a lot to do with the strong combat effectiveness of the Wei State's martial soldiers.
The three commanders of Gaochang State, including Missa, were killed in the night attack. More than 2,200 Gaochang cavalry, nearly 1,000 died in the melee, and more than 1,000 were captured. Only more than 100 Gaochang cavalry who had lost their war horses fled in the chaos.
