At dawn before the battle, the sky was still a deep purple with a few stars, and the surface of Lake Atami was covered with a pale mist, like the turbid breath of a monster.More than ten miles east of Akaya Castle, in the camp of the Mad King's Army, which occupied almost the entire plain, Nimi was kneeling on the dry grass covered with dewdrops, making a final prayer to the god worshiped by the Wusun people.The Greek and Indian city-states established after the Great Xia Kingdom went south believed in Buddhism, but it had just been introduced to the north of the Great Yue clan, and although a few monks arrived in Khotan and other places, it had not yet flourished.The Sogdian god of fire, whose custom was disgusting, was not pleasing to Usun either.They continue their tradition of worshipping nature and their ancestors, especially the sun.Nimi looked up, and the morning sun was rising, shining on the Atami Valley, evaporating the fog that was moving in the air.In the legend of Wusun, the sun is a bow drawer who rides a horse and gallops through the sky meadows called "Cangtangel", where the grass is blue and thunderbolts are fiery rockets fired by the sun.And the Wusun King is called "Kunmi", Kun means "sun" in Wusun language, "Mi" means thousand, and Kunmi is "a thousand suns"."
But everyone knows that there can only be one sun in the sky!
He knew the history of Wusun very well, and knew that the current split situation was all caused by the arrogant and temporary soft-heartedness of the wolf king.Jiaomi has more than ten sons, the prince died early, and before he died, he said to Jiaomi, "I will take my son Cen Qian as the prince."
Cen Chen is the father of the mad king, and he is a military beard.The old wolf king's heart softened and agreed.However, the arrogant neutron Dalu was powerful, and he rode more than 10,000 horses to fight in the east and west, and seized the Atami Valley for Wusun, which was very popular.Knowing that Jiaomi Lijun Su Mi was the crown prince, he was furious, and took the Kun disciples to set up another door, and Jiaomi also divided his troops to Jun Sumi, so Wusun was essentially divided into three.If it weren't for Da Lu's death before arrogance, the civil war would have broken out long ago, and there would be no need to drag it out until today.Da Lu's son, Weng Guimi inherited his subordinates and inheritance, and the wolf king set a strange rule in order to bridge the contradiction between the two ministries: after his death, Jun Su Mi succeeded to the throne, and after Jun Su Mi died, Weng Gui Mi succeeded to the throne, and after Weng Gui Mi's death, Jun Su Mi's son Ni Mi inherited Wusun.Wusun seems to be unified, but in fact, there is always a division."
The wolf king is wrong, and my father is wrong."
Nimi stood up and asked his subordinates to put on armor for themselves, in his opinion, the wolf king should ruthlessly destroy Dalu and clear the trouble for Jun Sumi.And Jun Sumi should not follow the last wish of the dead, but should kill Weng Guimi!
Weng Guimi wanted to violate the old covenant of the wolf king and support Yuan Guimi, the grandson of the Han family, to succeed to the throne, but unfortunately he was interrupted by the invasion of the Huns before he could complete it, and he died unexpectedly.And now, Nimi has decided to correct the mistakes left by the Wolf King, end the ten-year feud between the Dalu family and Cen Qian on the sacred hot sea, and reunite Wusun!
The Mad King wore Scythian scale armor, metal plates pinned to a leather vest, round heart armor on his chest, and a pointed bronze helmet tightly over his head.On the right side of his waist hung a short sword, the scabbard and hilt were carved with intricate and ornate patterns of gold leaf, some in the Persian style, and on the left hung an axe that could be wielded with one hand.The Wusun people stumbled in the cold air, and the Seven Rivers warriors who followed the mud checked their bows and arrows one last time, extinguished the camp fire, and followed the mud to jump on the West Pole war horse that couldn't stop spitting hot air, and prepared to set off.And the Mad King also gave his pre-war speech.He pointed to the slowly rising sun: "I, the mad king Nimi, the Kunmi of Wusun, am the summer sun, scorching and powerful. ”"And although Yuan Guimi also calls himself Kunmi, he is not the sun, but the moon, weak as a woman, unable to illuminate the sky of Wusun, let alone bring warmth to Atami."
The Mad King turned back on his horse and looked at the camp of Yuan Guimi on the edge of Akaya Castle, where he was also riding and preparing for battle."
I will kill him and snatch the white wolf skin left by the wolf king, the black crow crown!
Tell the Wusun people who is the orthodox Kunmi!
”The Mad King was still very popular with the old people, and every time he said a word, tens of thousands of riders broke out into a huge cheer, and the voice was so high that it could be heard in Akatani Castle.The Mad King laughed, and his vulture-like eyes looked at the head of Akatani Castle, and the princess must have been watching the battle from there, right?"
I will send his head to the grave of the fat king, and ride their wife and mother, the princess of the great man, in front of the father and son!"
The Wusun people still have some respect for Princess Xie Wu, especially the nobles who joined in the follow-up, and the nobles who were not close to the mud, felt that the mad king really did something too much, and the cheers were slightly smaller.But the mad king did not care, and he had already ordered the Marquis of Ruoa, who had assassinated the fat king, to take five thousand men and guard the mouth of the valley that entered the Atami basin from the Iresu.Nimi is an excellent leader who has experienced many wars with Kangju and Yueshi, and is by no means the kind of child who has not fought a few battles like Yuan Guimi, who knows the truth of guarding the way out.If he can lead his subordinates to occupy Qihe when he is young, and fight against Weng Guimi so far, how can he be incompetent.The mad king called his half-brother again: "Wu will slaughter, you take 10,000 people, watch the Han army outside Chigu City, don't attack, just watch it, if he doesn't move, you won't move." ”The arrival of the Han army was unexpected, in the more than 20 days after the assassination of the fat king and the mud did not arrive, the relief of worries made people temporarily build a sheep and horse city outside the Chigu City, and Fu Jiezi's two thousand Han soldiers were in it.Because of their excellent armor, Nimi did not dare to be careless about them.The remaining 40,000 men were divided into thirteen wings and marched with him, and Nimi hereby made a special statement to the princes that the whole army should be subject to his crow feather Daxu, advance and retreat in unity, and must not act without authorization.After all, this is a big battle on an unprecedented scale in this land since Wusun defeated the Yue Clan a hundred years ago.The horn shook the sky, and although the Wusun people did not have too tight an array, they also followed their respective noble leaders, divided into thirteen wings, and slowly approached the western Akaya Castle, their pointed hats like mushrooms beating after the rain.The mad king, with his guards, rode through the various divisions, marching towards the front of the battle array, and each time he passed, he drew bursts of cheers.His mount was armed to the teeth, and in addition to the horse's face armor, there were tanned and dried human scalps hanging from the sheath.In Usun, Nimi is one of the people who has the most of these decorations, showing his invincibility.When he came to the front of the front, the mad king could clearly see that the more than 20,000 horsemen of Yuan Guimi and the right general on the opposite side were leaving the camp to prepare to meet the enemy, which was also divided into thirteen wings, the same Wusun pointed fur hat, but the front line was much thinner than them.The Mad King smiled, and he rode forward, and he came to the center of the battlefield, just enough to see the other side, but at any time he could be protected by his own side.He thrust the spear in his hand into the ground, pointed to the opposite side, and shouted two words.The Wusun people behind him also shouted: "Yuan Guimi!
”"Fight!""
Fight!"
The thirteen wings of the mad king and 40,000 people shouted provocation unevenly, Yuan Guimi gritted his teeth, and was almost about to slap his horse forward, responding to the duel between Kunmi and Kunmi, the sun and the sun, this is the rule of Wusun, but he was stopped by the right general."
Kunmi, you can't go!"
On Yuan Guimi's horse harness, the number of human scalps hanging is only a fraction of the mud, and one of them is the king of Qiuzi, which was brought back by Yuan Guimi and Ren Hong after destroying Qiuzi "each takes what he needs".The right general knows that Yuan Guimi's bow horse is not very powerful, not to mention the abnormal mud that kills people, even his sister Yaoguang can beat Yuan Guimi all over the ground to find teeth.At this time, he couldn't resist the agitation to come forward to fight, and it would only end the war early, and the right general didn't think that Yuan Guimi could come back alive.But if you don't fight, you will be regarded as weak by the Wusun people, and the morale that has been slightly revived by the arrival of 2,000 Han reinforcements is afraid that it will fall to the bottom again.If Ren Hong is here, maybe let Yuan Guimi take off his Kunmi costume and send the most powerful warrior to put on it and gamble, if there is a chance to get close to kill Mumi, it is not bad, for the desert fox, the soldiers are not tired of cheating.But after all, it was the Wusun people who were present, and they kept the rules and honor of the nomads, and the right general could only step forward in person and report his name to fight on behalf of Yuan Guimi.But Nimi was not stupid, and when he saw that it was not Yuan Guimi, he walked away proudly, leaving only the spear on the ground.The Mad King Army began to laugh loudly at the cowardice of the "Han King", and they also fought back, but the loss was due to the lack of people, and the voice was covered.In the camp of the "Han King", there is a mixture of pessimism and malaise in the decay atmosphere, they have already experienced the assassination of the Fat King and other events, they have long lost the belief in the victory of this war, and the arrival of the Han army has not changed the fact of numerical inferiority.What's more, today's right general asked them to cooperate with the 2,000 Han army array outside Chigu City, take a defensive position, and not attack easily.These warriors, who usually only know how to attack, can only wait for the enemy to attack at this time.All of them were a little listless, like wolves chained, with empty claws and roars hitting the ground, but they couldn't move at all.The right general is also helpless, they want to delay, drag until the Han army defeats the Xiongnu and goes south, but the initiative of the war is on the muddy side.As Princess Xie Wei said, it is not feasible to evacuate Atami, which will cause your own side to fall apart in an instant.can only face the battle head-on, betting that with the help of the Han army, it can create miracles.But with the current morale, can it really win?
Nimi has been in Qihe all the year round, facing the Kangju people, plundering Dawan and the Sogdians, he is the leader, and he has more combat experience than the right general, not to mention Yuan Guimi, who commanded 20,000 people for the first time.And last night's night attack on the Mad King's army also ended in failure.Although the right general clearly said that this battle was commanded by him, and Yuan Guimi only needed to keep the banner still and stabilize the morale of the army, it did not make Yuan Guimi feel relaxed.When the enemy army ended the taunt and the 13 winged 40,000 soldiers under the command of the Mad King began to advance forward or backward, like thirteen ant colonies moving on flat ground, advancing towards his side, Yuan Guimi was still asking himself: "Can we win?"
”He gritted his teeth, thought of his tragic death, thought of his mother, who had high hopes for him, and thought of his brothers and sisters in the city, and clenched the sword in his hand, which was the sword of the fat king, which was given by the king of rest, and was decorated in a typical Persian style."
Neng" Yuan Gui kissed it heavily, hoping to gain some strength from his father's relics."
Absolutely!"
The sheep and horse wall is not high, but it is enough for Fu Jiezi to stand on it and observe the battlefield.This legendary figure who beheaded the king of Loulan, at this moment, was dressed in red armor, with a long beard reaching to his chest, holding the handle of the ring-headed sword, and watched intently at this civil war of the Wusun people.Fu Jiezi was resolutely opposed to fighting with Nimi at this time.It was the second day of the Han army's arrival, and the soldiers had not yet recovered from the long march over the mountains and mountains, and the morale of the Wusun people under Yuan Guimi's command was not very high, and the two thousand Han reinforcements were not enough to cheer them up.On the contrary, the army is determined to win, and its morale is booming.But Yuan Guimi and the right general also have a problem, Akaya City is not big, and it can only be defended by thousands of people, and it can't squeeze more than 20,000 people at all.According to Fu Jiezi and Chang Hui's proposal, let Princess Xie Wu and Yuan Guimi take their troops to retreat west for the time being, and it would not work to leave the Han army to resist the siege of Nimi in Chigu.After experiencing the assassination of the Fat King and other things, although there are still some nobles who are willing to follow Yuan Guimi and reconcile Princess Wu, they are already very sensitive, and it is easy to give a retreat order, so they are afraid that these nobles will be disappointed in their hearts and flee separately, and Nimi will not care about Chigu Castle and go straight to chase the evacuees.What's more, although Fu Jiezi, like Chang Hui, thought that Ren Hong, the kid, would find another way to help, but after all, it was just speculation and could not be confirmed.The meeting between Ren Hong and Xi Chongguo, because they were too far apart, Fu Jiezi did not know about it.Now, there is no perfect way to deal with it, and when the muddy army directly presses over, it is no longer up to them to decide whether to fight or not.However, although Fu Jiezi took the risk to come to the aid of Chigu Castle, he did not agree to let the soldiers die."
The soldiers are tired, and at this time, driving them to the death with the Wusun people is also killing, and it can only have the effect of containment."
He only promised to let the Han army line up outside Yangma City to protect Yuan Guimi's left flank, and by the way, he also restrained more than 10,000 Wusun people.The earth-shattering hooves of horses and shouts of killing sounded, Fu Jiezi's eyes turned to the main battlefield, the Wusun people were also half on foot, and the cavalry was dominated by light cavalry wearing only leather clothes, and pointed hats were its characteristics.The nobles have many armors, and the system is different from that of the Central Plains, and similar to the Huns, and there are some styles of living and resting.As for tactics, in Fu Jiezi's view, although they also split their wings and seek enemies to participate in the battle in turn, once they are entangled together, it will be a big brawl among herdsmen.From the beginning of the war, Yuan Guimi's side was at a disadvantage.The Mad King's army arrived like a whirlwind, and although the attack was disorderly, it was also very compact, and the thirteen wings were like wolves that kept pounced on things, rushing towards the Yuangui army one after another.And the Yuan Gui army can only resist with difficulty, there are few people, the command does not seem to be very effective, some tribes are timid, and some tribes attack without regard to the order, and as a result, they fall into a siege, and each wing falls into a situation where the other party fights more and less.In this civil war of the Wusun people, perhaps the two sides are not far apart in terms of armor and combat skills, but because of the gap in command and dispatch, as well as the number of people, the advantages and disadvantages are distinct."
Fu Gong, if you don't move, Yuan Guimi will really lose."
Seeing that the battle situation was becoming more and more unfavorable to his side, Feng Fengshi was a little anxious.Zheng Ji, another song commander, had a different opinion, he was a short southerner, and he had to climb the sheep and horse wall to watch the battle: "Fu Gong, my troops attacked, and the bearded black on the opposite side slaughtered more than 10,000 horsemen and attacked my flank, if our troops lost, this battle would be completely lost." ”Fu Jiezi asked him a question: "Aji, on the grassland, can the foot soldiers catch up with the cavalry?"
Zheng Ji was stunned: "It is still possible to march long distances in the mountains and forests, but I am afraid it will be difficult to catch up now.""
That's right."
Fu Jiezi laughed, jumped down from the sheep and horse wall, and shouted at everyone to prepare to march into battle."
If I don't move and expose my side ribs to deceive his juniors to take the initiative to attack, do I still have to chase him around?
This is what the art of war says, and those who can make the enemy self-defeating will also benefit!
