In the summer of the 387th year of the Great Liang calendar, several northwestern prefectures of Liang suffered a century-long drought. Due to the government's ineffective disaster relief, wide...
Most of the nearly two hundred Black Armor Cavalry soldiers who died were killed in collisions, or were knocked off their horses and then trampled to death by the horses.
Duke Aissazi, the leader of the coalition forces, frowned upon seeing the result. "I've always heard that 'Liang's army is the best in the world,' and today I see they are indeed formidable.
It seems that defeating the main force of the Liang army in Lishui City is not an easy task."
Duke Aisaizi knew very well that although the coalition army had 700,000 people, the only ones who could really fight were the 200,000 Wensu troops led by him and the 120,000 Puwan troops led by Dagati.
The 80,000 troops of the other four small countries in the Western Regions were barely usable. As for the so-called 300,000 troops of the Gule Kingdom, Duke Aisezi did not expect them to be able to fight at all. It would be good enough if they could not cause trouble.
The third prince of Gul State, Mejiaji, then said: "Duke Aisaizi, the states of Shaye, Yanzi, Shache, and Qumo, upon learning that the Liang army has occupied the capital of our Gul State, have also sent troops to support us.
Among them, Shaye Kingdom sent 80,000 troops, Yanzi Kingdom sent 70,000 troops, Shache Kingdom and Qumo Kingdom sent 50,000 troops each. When the troops of these four countries arrive, our coalition will have an additional 250,000 troops.
By then, even if we sacrifice our lives to fight against the Liang army, it will be enough to wear them down."
The states of Shaye, Yanzi, Shache, and Qumo were all powerful countries in the Western Regions, each with dozens of cities and millions of people.
The Shaye Kingdom mentioned in it is the Western Region country where Sun Hao's uncle Liu Dongqi experienced what it means to "when the birds are gone, the good bows are put away."
Duke Aisaizi sighed and said, "If there is really no other way, we can only fight the Liang army with our lives.
Regardless of the cost, we must not allow Liang to gain a foothold in the Western Regions. Otherwise, it will be the beginning of disaster for all of us Western Region countries."
