"The Han army has moved!"
When they saw that the Han army guarding the left flank of the front and outside the sheep and horse walls of Chigu Castle began to move to the right, wanting to support Yuan Guimi's precarious front, he was overjoyed to watch them die on the orders of the Mad King.In Wu Qitu's opinion, the mad king still attaches too much importance to these Han troops.Speaking of which, although he has been in contact with the Han for decades, Wusun has never fought the Han army on the battlefield once, but he has also had several opportunities to watch the Han army fight.The first time was more than 30 years ago, the Han attacked Dawan, and asked Wusun, who had just been with his relatives, to send troops to assist, and the wolf king only sent two thousand horsemen to help, and watched the whole process of the Han army's attack on Dawan.The second time was the Battle of Luntai a few years ago, when hundreds of Han soldiers were besieged by the Qiuzi people and were almost unprotected, thanks to the timely arrival of the Wusun people, they were saved."
The Han army is more powerful when defending the city."
This is Wu Tutu's impression of the Han army, if they defend in Chigu City, there is still some trouble, but come out to fight?
There are only more than 2,000 people in their generation, and most of them are foot soldiers, how useful can they be in the melee of tens of thousands of Wusun people?
Wu Yitu's heart moved: "If I can defeat this Han army, I will be able to gain great prestige." ”Nimi wants to end the long-cherished wish of Dalu and Cen Chen, but his younger brother Wu is the son of the fat king and has his own plans for the future."
The Fat King can inherit Wusun from Jun Sumi, why can't I replace the Mad King and become Kunmi?"
But he also knows that he is still young, and the matter of standing up for prestige should start from today's battle!
So, when the Han army moved to the right, Wu Zhitu also raised his hand and ordered his more than 10,000 cavalry to divide into two wings, wanting to rush over and surround it, and scatter and defeat it!
The Wusun people roared and beat their horses forward, and rushed at the Han army in a chaotic manner, most of them had participated in the plundering of the city of Guo in the Western Regions.Although the soldiers of those cities were outnumbered, their morale was very low, and they were often intimidated by the overwhelming Wusun cavalry.The weapons of the Wusun people include short spears, bows and long swords, during the battle, the light cavalry first stationed on the horse and opened the bow, weakened the enemy army with a rain of arrows, and then threw a short spear after approaching, and finally the elite cavalry of the noble people attacked the center of the enemy army in a dense formation Generally speaking, the city soldiers of the Western Regions have collapsed at this stage, and once they are scattered, they will become something that the Wusun people chase.But the Han army was a little different, and did not panic at all when Wu Weitu launched an attack, but quickly formed a circle in the same place, with halberds and shields in the front row, concentrated spears facing outwards in unison, and full bows and crossbows in the back row waiting.The Wusun people were divided into several teams, whistling and passing more than a hundred paces away, and those who were good at archery directly clamped the horse's belly to open the bow, and those who were almost stopped drawing arrows, and those who were worse had to get off their horses and shoot on foot.The Han army did not fight back, like a black army crawling out of the water, cowering in a shield, full of arrows.After a few rounds of arrows were fired, the Wusun people got on their horses again according to the old custom, and rushed closer with a roar to throw short spears to break the shield, but before they could get close enough to a sufficient position, with Fu Jiezi's order, the shields of the Han army separated.The long-awaited strong crossbow aimed at the rushing Wusun people and shot fiercely, within dozens of steps, the power of the crossbow machine was much more powerful than the bow and arrow, and thousands of crossbows were fired together, and for a time the Wusun people turned on their backs.This counterattack, which had never been encountered in the past when robbing the cities and states, made the Wusun people a little confused, and chose to retreat, and the first wave of attacks returned in vain.Although he was taken aback by the strength of the Han crossbow, Wu Weitu still did not give up, and ordered another wing prepared behind him to move, ran twice in front of the Han army's formation, and then ordered hundreds of horsemen to rush towards the seemingly weakest position!"
Put!"
When a hundred steps away, after Fu Jiezi drank the order, dozens of crossbows immediately sounded, and a sound like a thunderbolt sounded, and more than ten horsemen fell in response.At seventy or eighty paces, hundreds of ordinary arm-stretched crossbows also shot arrows, and dozens of Wusun people were hit by arrows, but the crossbow machine also had a shortcoming, that is, the winding was too slow, and taking advantage of this gap, the Wusun cavalry accelerated and rushed forward.But the horses were frightened by the upward spears of the Han army, neighed violently, and began to stop despite the whipping of their masters, and even threw them off, even if a few rushed to them, they were also stabbed off their horses by the spears, and were pecked into a sieve by the fallen Ge and halberds.The Wusun people divided into several wings and took turns to attack, and launched three charges against the Han army, but they could not attack, but their own side was killed and wounded by hundreds.This result is a bit beyond the scope of Wu Zhitu's cognition, how can more than 10,000 cavalry not be able to defeat 2,000 infantry?
He was a little troubled, but it was too late that giving up would be a joke for the Wusun people, and finally decided to press the whole army and stand outside the range of the crossbow machine and shoot the enemy with the Wusun bow.But the Wusun people suffered great setbacks in the process of the onslaught, their morale was low, and their confidence became shaken, and their already poor formation had already become a mess after repeated movements, and many people could no longer find their leader.After Wu gave a new order, some of them walked forward, while others stopped where they were, not knowing what to do.At this time, the Han army moved, and the two thousand foot soldiers put away the circle formation, changed it into a phalanx, and walked unswervingly towards the Wusun people at a speed that was not too fast.This made Wu Tu, who was suffering from the Han army's strong position, very happy, and since the Han army gave up its advantage, they naturally met it.The defeat came suddenly, and it happened like this, the Wusun people in the front suddenly scattered and fled, and the Wusun people in the back didn't understand what was happening, and they subconsciously ran along.In the later battle, Wu Qitu, who watched his army collapse in an instant, was even more confused.Only Princess Xie Wu and others, who were standing at the head of Chigu Castle, knew that the Han army was like a hot iron knife, and when they encountered a large piece of cheese, they didn't have to do anything, just casually stirred up, and easily cut, decomposed, and melted the enemy.Wu Zhitu came back to his senses after being coerced by his subordinates and running two miles away, but he didn't understand, why did 10,000 Wusun people ride Wusun people and were scattered by 2,000 Han army foot soldiers?
When they turned around, only the corpses of hundreds of Wusun men and horses remained on the withered yellow grass, and the Han army did not chase deeply, and once again withdrew to the sheep and horse wall to hold on.Shame, Wu Slaughter tried to gather the troops, their casualties were not heavy, but their morale has plummeted, Wusun and the Huns, see the enemy and seek profit, like a collection of birds, its defeat, then disintegrate, the same is now.No matter how Wu Tu threatened and scolded, he was unwilling to gnaw hard bones.The Han army laughed and laughed, and the people at the head of Chigu Castle were also quite excited and cheered.But when their eyes fell on the right side of the battlefield, they couldn't laugh.The battle has reached two moments, and all the thirteen wings on Yuan Guimi's side have participated in the battle, while on the Nimi side, there are still three wings of fresh troops ready to join the battlefield.By two and a half moments, Yuan Guimi's various wings had been ravaged by the Mad King Army to varying degrees, especially the several people who were the forwards, and they were even more devastating, showing the momentum of collapse.When one of the wings couldn't bear the casualties that were not big in Fu Jiezi's opinion, and collapsed and fled, Fu Jiezi shook his head: "Yuan Gui is defeated. ”On the battlefield, fear will be contagious, in a very short period of time, wing after wing, Yuan Guimi's army collapsed one after another, even if Yuan Guimi's banner held still, even if the right general tried to command no matter how useless, this battle, the outcome has been decided."
Fu Gong, help my brother!"
Liu Wannian couldn't stand it anymore, and he sent a request at the head of the city, hoping to take the Shache soldiers out of the city and fight the enemy together with Fu Jiezi.And in the queue, it was already Qu Changsun Wan who also licked his lips, he just rushed to the front, even beheaded a few people, and felt that the Wusun people were only a little stronger than the Qiuzi people, even the Huns were inferior, it seemed that he broke through the name of 10 million, and he was in this battle, so he clenched the sword and shield in his hand."
Fu Gong, we're almost rested, let's attack!"
Fu Jiezi didn't speak, he was indeed brave and not afraid of death, but let two thousand foot soldiers, cross the battlefield that was ten miles long, and use flesh and blood to stop 40,000 horsemen to save the defeat?
They were able to win the first battle, and the casualties were not too large, but the soldiers were already very tired and panting when they fought in armor and shields, and they might not be able to create miracles if they attacked again.Fu Jiezi glanced at the head of Chigu City, not far from Chang Hui's side, Princess Xie Wei was indeed looking at the battlefield.Maybe it was because she was worried, she clenched her fists tightly and pursed her lips, looking extremely anxious.It's just that when Princess Xie Wu looked at the Han army outside the city, she didn't come over to beg Fu Jiezi to save her son and force him to redeem the defeat like an ordinary mother.She was trying her best to restrain herself, as she promised before the war, and everything was left to Fu Jiezi's own decision.Fu Jiezi sighed, and glanced at the Wuqi Tu Army, which had been staring at them, and the Yuan Gui Army, whose defeat had already been decided."
I came to Chigu City to make sure that it was the Lord of Chu who did not lose it.""
It's not King Wusun.""
Stand back, guard the sheep and horse wall, dare to attack recklessly, cut!"
The partial victory of the Han army could not recover the overall defeat.By the time the battle reached three quarters, Yuan Guimi's army had collapsed on all fronts, and he was unwilling to admit this fact, but the wounded right general came over and asked again and again to make a decision for him.The Yuan Gui Crow Feather Daxu began to retreat slowly, the trumpeter blew the horn, and the order to withdraw flew to all directions of the battlefield by sound.In fact, there was no need to wait for the retreat order to be issued, Yuan Guimi's thirteen wings had already scrambled to withdraw from the battlefield.In the war of the cold weapon era, the casualties in the head-to-head confrontation are actually not large, and the real casualties are often produced in the pursuit of the defeated enemy.The wings of the Mad King's army are now pressed on all fronts, chasing Yuan Guimi with impunity, raising their swords high, and slashing at those enemies who have lost their horses!
However, the Wusun people's habit of cutting their scalps after killing the enemy made the pursuing side not fast, Yuan Guimi and the right general withdrew from the battlefield with thousands of remnants, and after the troops who disappeared at the end of sight were re-gathered, they gave up staring at the Han army, and inserted between Yuan Guimi and Chigu City, so that they had no chance to retreat to the city.The head of Chigu Castle was silent, and he watched Yuan Gui go away in defeat, holding the wooden wall with both hands, and he felt very uncomfortable.When the fat king was alive, he was the sun of Wusun, the sun of anxiety, and her husband.After Weng Guimi's unfortunate fall, Xie Wu immediately supported his eldest son to succeed to the throne, and personally wore a crow feather crown on his head, hoping that Yuan Guimi could become the new sun, shining on Atami and sheltering Akaya Castle.But now, her sun has fled and fallen to the west again, and I wonder if there will be a day when it will rise.On the battlefield outside the city, the Mad King's soldiers were brutally harvesting the scalps of the dead, and most of the nobles who failed to escape chose to lay down their arms and surrender.Although the Han army once again repelled the Wuzhitu who wanted to take the opportunity to attack the city, retreated to Chigu Castle, and kept the last bit of hope.But in this Wusun civil war, it seems that the winner has been decided.Xie Wei closed his eyes, the sun set, and the darkest and coldest night was coming.Disappointed?
Perhaps it would be more appropriate to call it "despair".She opened her eyes again, and looked at the servants who were busy guarding the imperial equipment, and the guards who lined up the gates to defend themselves against enemy onslaught."
So far, there is a way to save everyone.""
There's only one left!"
At sunset the next day, the Mad King was victorious, and the news of the great defeat of Yuan Guimi had reached the rear army camp guarding the mouth of the Atami Valley."
I knew that Yuan Guimi's weak man was definitely not the opponent of the mad king!"
The one who was ordered to guard the back road was the Marquis of Ruohuxi, who had assassinated the fat king with his own hands, and he was the most happy, dancing with his hands, almost forgetting that his arm was still injured.I heard that the prince of Wu Zhitu led more than 10,000 horsemen to pursue Yuan Guimi and the right general, while the mad king led 40,000 people to besiege Chigu Castle.There are only more than 4,000 people left in the city, and if they attack with ten times the number of people, they don't believe that they can't be defeated!
But when it was almost dark, on the way from the valley of the Ile River to Atami, an uninvited guest, a group of "Huns" who went and returned.It is indeed a Hun person, from its dress and language, even if it is as suspicious as Ruohu, it can't find a single fault, but the accent is a little strange, probably from a very far away.The Xiongnu are too big, and there are so many people who came with the right king this time, it is impossible for Ruohu to remember everyone.They said that they had come to assist the mad king in attacking Yuan Guimi on the order of the right virtuous king, and they had traveled a long way, and there were four or five thousand people, who were extremely impatient and asked to enter the camp to rest.The Huns are the allies of the mad king, and they are the first-class "single soldiers in the sky" of the high Wusun people, Ruoa did not dare to refuse, led the Huns thousands of cavalry commanders, served carefully, and set up a banquet to entertain him, because Ruoa could not speak Xiongnu and could only be translated by the translator.Zhao Han'er has changed back to the Hu people's hairstyle, that typical Hun round face naturally makes people unable to find flaws, he looks arrogant, a high-class person, unceremoniously wants to eat and drink, and even asks Wusun women to sleep with: two at a time!
Although he was ordered to bring the Hugh Slaughter Department to the camp, Zhao Han'er didn't want to use the Xiongnu name given to him by Hu Ren's father, and those pasts had been burned to ashes along with his father and the camp tent.So he used the pseudonym that Ren Hou Ye set this time and mentioned it casually.Zhao Han'er smiled: "My name is Attila!"
