Three Kingdoms.

  Chapter 2909 I am gone in the past, Yang Liu Yiyi

  Xihai City, something really happened.

   It is not in Xihai City, but to the north of Xihai City.

  Accident, like justice, will never be absent.

  The more you think about things going well, the more often things will go badly.

  Unexpectedly, this guy is not only targeting the Western Regions Allied Forces, but also targeting Zhang Liao and others.

  The main trouble for the coalition forces in the Western Regions lies in the large number of people...

That's right, the large number of people is indeed troublesome, especially because these Western Region coalition forces do not have a unified administrative structure. When organizing laws, not only are they slow to move, but the advance troops and the last people can even travel more than three days. It forms a long, comet-like structure, and because many people just have a vague call from the Buddha, they come as soon as their heads get hot, and they are not familiar at all, let alone cooperate.

  Humans, it is always unavoidable to subconsciously think that other people have one head and two eyes, so they should be the same as themselves. Kind people often think that others should be kind, and treacherous people often think that others are playing tricks. Zhuge in the Three Kingdoms show sits on the top of the city and sings a big show, so naturally Sima under the city understands it.

  The people in the Allied Forces of the Western Regions naturally have all kinds of people, so they naturally have all kinds of thoughts. Let these people be able to form a joint force immediately under any Taxa or Busen...

   It is estimated that it is only possible for the Buddha to appear immediately and then cast a large-scale miracle spell.

  As for Zhang Liao and others in Xihai City, their main trouble is that there are few people.

   Not only are there fewer soldiers, but also fewer generals.

It wasn't a big problem in the original plan. After all, Feiqian had already arrived at Yumen Pass, and he could reach Xihai City within a few days. For the Western Regions Allied Forces, even with a large number of people, they could not capture Xihai in such a short period of time. city.

  But no one expected that at this point in time, there was an unexpected change for Zhang Liao and others.

   Because of disagreement with Lu Bu, Lu Bu left Xihai City angrily, so that when the Wusun people suddenly appeared, everyone was caught off guard.

Gao Shun defeated Che Shi Houguo, and dealt a heavy blow to the Wusun people, but it does not mean that Gao Shun conquered Che Shihouguo, or that Wusun people would no longer have anything to do with the Han people. coveted.

  Because greedy people are still greedy, and stupid people are stupid after all.

  The failure of Wusun Xiaowang, on the contrary, aroused more "same hatred" among Wusun people, or in other words, in order to inherit the vacant Xiaowang position, it triggered a new round of competition. In fact, this is very common in tribes, or in some organizations that maintain tribal traditions. After the death or failure of the previous leader, the successors can only be regarded as truly recognized by everyone after washing away the shame of the previous leader. .

  Xihai City seems to be at the crossroads of the Western Regions, and the Allied Forces of the Western Regions are dragging their long tails on the western avenue, while the Wusun people are coming on the northern road...

  Located about two to three hundred miles north of Xihai City, there is a small watery grassland with rich water and grass, so the Han people in Xihai also set up a small town here for farming and grazing.

   Now, on the **** outside the small town of Tuntian, the sound of killing is loud, and hundreds of Wusun cavalry are galloping on horseback, constantly driving the strong men with braided hair or shawls to charge and kill the small town of Tuntian on the slope. These miscellaneous beards are in messy clothes, and they only hold simple tools such as sticks and lassoes in their hands. They are obviously strong men captured by these Wusun people along the way. It is not known which tribe they belong to, or which tribe they are not. . These miscellaneous Hus are poorly equipped, while the Wusun cavalry behind them are relatively well equipped with bows and knives, and their armor is neat.

  Perhaps it was for this reason that after the first failure, the Wusun people were still unwilling to admit defeat, and instead made a comeback.

   Compared with the menacing Wusun people, the rear army in the small town of Tuntian pales in comparison.

  『Get closer and shoot again! Get closer...you fucking! Didn't I say get closer? Are you deaf? ! 』

  『Damn it, don’t strangle your hands! Are you going to strangle your fingers? ! 』

  『Go away! Get out of the way! If your legs and feet are weak, get out of the way for me! 』

  Although it is said that there are some sophisticated military academies in the small town of Tuntian, most of the people are ordinary young and strong in Tuntian. These young and strong farmers did not have enough armor or experience. When they panicked, they just knew how to run back and forth, causing trouble for themselves and others.

  This small farm town is not large in scale. It is mainly a warehouse city for storing grain and grass. Apart from being high on the top of a **** and facing water on one side, it is far from dangerous. There are only more than 200 guards in the city. At this time, more than 150 people are commanding the young and strong at the top of the city to control the strings and fend off the enemy.

In terms of numbers alone, there are not too many Wusun people, but there is a huge gap compared with the Han army in the small town of Tuntian. There are more than two thousand Wusun cavalrymen outside the city. There are many, and there are three thousand vassals who they drove away.

   Judging from this scale, perhaps some remnant soldiers of Wusun Xiaowang were recruited and added?

  After this group of people arrived outside the small town of Tuntian, they launched an attack shortly after resting. At the beginning of the battle, they were shot to death by the Han soldiers in the city. However, this loss is obviously not in the eyes of the Wusun people. Wusun's cavalry are more robust, but they also spare their lives. They will not be the first to fight, but just drive the miscellaneous beards forward to consume the strength of the defenders.

  The old tactics, the old model.

  As long as there is still an effect, I will continue to do it.

The terrain of the Western Regions is like a flattened "O", with the desert in the middle, and the grasslands moistened by the melted snow mountains on the north and south sides, and the small town of Tuntian has a relatively good river, which flows all year round. With water, it is a very good place to station soldiers and horses temporarily, or to farm fields on weekdays.

When the Wusun people attacked, they didn’t really want to fight the Han people. It was more like retaliation as if they had lost face. So on the one hand, the Wusun people were aggressive, and on the other hand, the Wusun people’s chosen target was Interesting…

Strictly speaking, the small town of Tuntian is not Xihai City. Even if such a small town is captured, it will not cause much direct loss to the Han people, but from another perspective, this is indeed a city for the Han people. Does it mean that a small town is not a city? After taking down the small town of Tuntian, you can advance, attack, retreat, and defend. If the Western Regions can really capture Xihai City, the Wusun people don’t mind joining the Western Regions and taking away some Han people’s belongings and population. If the Western Regions If the coalition forces can't defeat them, then the Wusun people can use it to say that they defeated the Han people's city to boost their own reputation and successfully ascend to the throne, etc.

   Anyway, the strategy is perfect.

   It's just that the Wusun people also forgot a problem, they are not good at tackling tough problems.

This cannot be blamed on the Wusun people, but all nomads have this problem. After all, there has been the Great Wall since the Qin Dynasty. No one thought about it, or even if they thought about it, they couldn't settle down and develop the technology tree, so in terms of dealing with the stone city wall, the barbarian's methods are actually very pitiful.

  As for the Yuan and Qing dynasties, if there were not a large number of leading parties...

  Of course, there are always two aspects to the matter of leading the way. One is the traitors who surrendered, and the other is the large number of people who are insensitive to foreign invasion. The upper-class Han people feel nothing to be ashamed of betraying the country, while the lower-class Han people think that the country has become so corrupt that there is no hope, and it makes no difference whether the country is subjugated or not.

  Fortunately, the current Han people still have some heat in their hearts and some light in their eyes. In particular, the small town of Tuntian is condescending. Although there are not many defenders, combined with the young and strong surrounding Tuntian, no one said that they would open the city and surrender, begging for their lives.

   For the Wusun people, it was somewhat unexpected. If they can't attack the small town of Tuntian, then they don't have a foothold, so they can't just sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, and there are also a lot of people gathered. If they can't replenish some supplies, will they all starve to death on the way in winter?

Although there are other options for the Wusun people, such as going south directly to attack the West Sea, or bypassing the West Sea to see if they can break through the Yumen Pass and enter the Han people's inner regions, and loot Longxi, etc., but there is no doubt that these military actions are risky. If the **** is too high, the whole army may be wiped out if there is a slight inconvenience.

   Therefore, it is the best choice for Wusun to lay down the small town of Tuntian, and then advance, attack, retreat and gain. In order to reduce their own consumption, the Wusun cavalry "recruited" to participate in the battle in Yezahu.

Most of these miscellaneous beards were originally from the Western Regions. Because they were not used to living in the city, they just lived in the wild chasing aquatic plants and nomadic, so it is not clear whether these miscellaneous beards belonged to the early Huns or the later Xianbei species. , or some earlier barbarian tribes. After the Han people built Xihai City before, they did not drive and restrain all these miscellaneous beards, so these miscellaneous beards were driven by the Wusun people who came along the water source and became consumables on the battlefield.

  The ruling class does not treat ordinary people as human beings.

  This is not only the dignitaries and dignitaries above the temples of the Han people, but also the noble leaders in the nomadic peoples.

   At most, some can pretend, and some don't even bother to pretend.

   Therefore, these Wusun cavalry soldiers who invaded the Western Regions did not treat the miscellaneous beards in the Western Regions as human beings at all, and drove them away with all their brains, consuming their lives to wear down the combat effectiveness of the Han army.

  『These thieves, why are they going south? Is it just to kill these people? Commander Wang, why don't we put on our armor and mount our horses and go out of the city to charge and kill them? These are all nonsense, I still recognize some of them, they are all kind people, and they came here before in exchange for salt stones, so they were shot and killed like this, I really can't bear it. 』After the Han soldiers at the head of the city shot and killed a miscellaneous beard who turned over and refused to horse outside the city, they couldn't help but turned their heads and said to the head of the village.

  As soon as this remark came out, many soldiers on the top of the city also turned their heads to look at the head of the village, quite agreeing. Strictly speaking, the miscellaneous beards who were driven from outside the city were unarmed at all, unable to withstand the arrows shot from the city at all.

  The battle has been going on for nearly half a day, and the morale of those who rushed to the battle had already collapsed, but they were suppressed by a group of Wusun cavalry, and they were dead forward and backward. Up to now, most of the defenders in the city have shot and killed miscellaneous beards who are panicked and close to the city defense line. It can also be seen that these miscellaneous beards have already broken their livers and gallbladders, and their actions are completely out of order. It is nothing to kill more or less difference.

  『Stop talking nonsense! You pity the miscellaneous beards outside the city, and I pity your life! The head of the village scolded unceremoniously, "Everyone cheer up!" This group of turtle grandsons rushed here, I can't believe that they are not tired! I have already sent someone to Xihai to report, the general will be there in no time! The most important thing for us now is to keep the city wall. Anyway, no matter who it is, anyone who approaches will be shot. Those poor people may be pitiful, but once the city is broken, they will be accomplices! Do you understand everything? ! 』

  The soldiers responded one after another, which was regarded as a unified thought, and they no longer kept their hands on the miscellaneous Hu.

  In the evening, I thought that the day would be over like this, but I didn't expect the Wusun people to launch a fierce offensive instead.

  For a while, the fighting in the small town of Tuntian was extremely fierce.

Although the Wusun soldiers are not good at attacking fortified positions, both their equipment and fighting will are far superior to those of the herdsmen who used to consume the defenders' fighting power before. The defenders couldn't help feeling a little tired and tired, but they were a little caught off guard.

  Wusun people put on thick armor and rushed down the city. After successfully reaching the bottom of the castle, they used iron cones and sledgehammers to destroy the outer wall and gates. The small town of Tuntian itself uses local materials and uses rammed earth as the wall. Although the climate in the Western Regions is dry, this kind of earth wall is as hard as stone, but there are still weaknesses. Once the enemy approaches the city wall to destroy it, the defensive situation has changed is at stake.

  Although the defenders tried their best to shoot these approaching soldiers on the city wall, the Wusun people on the outskirts continued to shoot around the city, suppressing the counterattack on the top of the city so that they could not lift their heads.

As the soldiers in the city began to suffer casualties, the peasants gathered in the city also split up. Some of the peasants felt that they needed to help their soldiers, while others were trembling with fear and just wanted to hide or is to escape.

  The sky gradually darkened, and the Wusun people began to attack on a large scale, and the small town of Tuntian gradually became exhausted. Some places were lit, and thick fireworks burst out.

  In the distance of the small town of Tuntian, a group of soldiers and horses stood.

  Han Guo looked at the fire burning in the distance, with a serious expression on his face, he turned his head and told the scouts, "Go and investigate again!" 』

  Beside Han Guo is Zhang An, the commander of Zhang Liao's army.

   Zhang Liao was short of resources, he couldn't come to support the small town of Tuntian at this moment, so Han Guo had to lead 500 people to come.

  『Han engaged! Now that the city is in crisis, why not march? ! Looking at the flames in the distance, Zhang An asked somewhat anxiously, "If the city is broken, we...they...why don't we march?" 』

  Han Guo pressed the saber on his waist, stroked the handle, and said, "Zhang Sima, I'm not General Wenyuan. 』

"ah? 』Zhang An didn’t understand what Han Guo meant by this sentence, was he threatening him, saying that Zhang Liao could tolerate him talking casually, and he is not following Zhang Liao now, so...

  Han Guo looked at the small town of Tuntian in the distance, "If I have half the martial arts of General Wenyuan, I will lead people to rush there now!" 』

   "Uh..." Zhang An was taken aback for a moment.

   Does this mean to praise Zhang Liao?

   Or is Han Guo trying to find an excuse for fear of war?

  But soon, Han Guo explained: "These Wusun people don't know we're here, so this is an opportunity...but if we... the scouts are back!" 』

  The scouts rushed to Han Guo and said, "Report, the Wusun people stepped up their offensive, and the city of Tuntian couldn't stand it anymore!" The west turret was set on fire, and the north gate seemed to be destroyed! 』

  Zhang An suddenly became anxious, "Do it, send troops immediately!" 』

  Han Guo frowned deeply, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Wusun is an unbroken city now?" How long do you think the city can last? 』

  The scout said with some embarrassment: "It hasn't been broken yet, but I guess it will be soon... Maybe it won't last tonight..."

  Han Guo nodded, and said to the scouts, "Have a hard time, you go and watch the Wusun people, once the city is broken, report it immediately!" 』

   The scout let out an ah, and Han Guo repeated the order again, so the scout went to investigate again with some hesitation.

  『The city is broken? ! Zhang An couldn't help but said angrily, "Han Zong, do you know what you're talking about?" ! 』

   Han Guo nodded, "I know. If I had 5,000 cavalry, I would attack now. If I had half the force of General Wen Yuan, I would not be standing here now... The Wusun people are not in disorder now... Only when the city is broken, the Wusun people will fight for it. Wealth, goods, grain and grass will definitely be in chaos, when the time comes...』

  『But…』 Zhang An stared, and said a little depressed, 『The city is broken...after the city is broken, what about the soldiers and people in the city? ! 』

  Han Guo was silent for a long time, then he held his saber tightly, "Now... if we lose, the Wusun people can directly threaten Xihai City!" General Wen Yuan can't leave! So what about the soldiers and generals in Luntai Military Village? Are they not human anymore? What about previous plans? If they were to evacuate from Xihai City now, the casualties would not be limited to these people in front of them! 』

   Zhang An held his breath, and then only sighed.

"We're here to give these Wusun people a serious blow." Han Guo's eyes were sober and painful, "Obviously, we can't encircle these Wusun people, so we can only temporarily delay their progress." Footsteps... The lord has already arrived at Yumen Pass, and the vanguard will arrive at Xihai City within three days! Whether it's the Allied Forces from the Western Regions or Wusun's incoming enemies, we just need to hold on to this breath... just like this dark night before us, if we hold on, the sun will shine brightly! 』

  Han Guo looked up at the sky, "Land and tranquility can only be truly obtained through iron and blood... Let's go, we need to make some preparations now, don't disturb them, go around first..."
