When it comes to hand-to-hand field combat, the Wei army is not afraid of any opponent, although Guo Peng cares about the increase in strength brought by the power of science and technology to the army, but he knows better that zero is still a hundred times zero.

If the army itself does not have strong combat effectiveness, then no matter how well equipped it is, it will still not be able to win the battle.

Even if they are given tanks, muskets, and airplanes, the troops without combat effectiveness are not combative, and if they can't beat the enemy, they can't beat them.

When the gap in weapons is not large, training and organization are the core of the army.

Dawan's army is not not brave, nor is it impossible to fight, in fact, their strength is not weak, and they are obviously not stupid and sweet to survive in the complex international situation so far.

It's just that he looks a little weaker in front of Wei Jun.

As a result, the weak side was quickly exposed under the engagement of the two armies, and in the face of the rapid attack of the stronger side, the weak side was almost powerless to resist.

The Wei army's spears were pierced hard and accurately, the shields were hard, and they were good at resisting attacks, and the two sides cooperated very well, and each could give the best support to the other.

On the other hand, on the side of the Dawan army, there is a big problem with the cooperation of the military formation, and the cooperation between them is very tacit.

That's right, how can a professional army that is not out of production compete with the strong professional army of the Wei army?

The difference between a professional army and a temporarily recruited non-professional army is really significant.

After the two armies were close to each other, the Wei army gained the upper hand in a very short period of time with the skillful cooperation between the various arms, and the Dawan army could not hold out in the face of the Wei army's spears and shields.

The soldiers in the front row were quickly overturned by the Wei army, and the back row did not have time to move forward to plug the gap, and the Wei army stabbed the military formation, and the military formation collapsed.

Once the formation collapses, it's over.

The Dawan generals used their personal guards to resist, but nothing came of it.

So the Dawan army was undoubtedly defeated by Guan Yu.

Guan Yu led the army to advance in a big way, and directly defeated the 20,000 troops of Dawan, who had the advantage of troops, and broke 20,000 with 10,000.

Guan Yu beheaded 2,000 people in the first battle, annihilated more than 10,000 Dawan troops, killed thirteen famous generals of the Dawan army, and captured a large number of them.

In the end, the remnants of the Dawan army, which had less than 5,000 people, were defeated and retreated to Yuchengcheng, using Yuchengcheng's city defense to fight against the Wei army, intending to lock the route of the Wei army's attack.

When Li Guangli dealt with Dawan back then, he did not choose to fight to the death with the Dawan army in Yu Chengcheng, but made a detour to attack Guishan City, the capital of Dawan State, and chose to force Dawan to submit in a more direct way.

Anyway, at that time, Emperor Wu of Han definitely didn't think about destroying the Great Wan Kingdom, but just wanted to crusade against them to gain benefits.

But now, the Wei army is going to destroy the kingdom of Dawan.

So of course, Guan Yu would not make a detour to attack, but commanded the army to start attacking the city unhurriedly.

Guan Yu did not carry too many materials such as fierce fire oil canisters, so the army's siege strength was not strong, and the Dawan people still felt fortunate that the Wei army was already at the end of the crossbow.

As a result, it was not until December 13, after Guo Jin and Cao Ren led the main army to arrive, that Dawan realized that he was very wrong.

Guan Yu is just the vanguard.

When the overwhelming long-range strike firepower fell densely in Yucheng City, the Dawan people in the city were completely awakened.

The Wei army besieged the city on three sides, besieged on three sides, and a large number of fierce fire oil tanks burned a large number of buildings in the city, and at the same time, a large number of buildings in the city were burned, and some buildings storing grain and ordnance were also affected, thus shaking the determination of the people in the city to defend the city.

Not only that, the Dawan reinforcements came to support Yu Chengcheng on December 16, but they were surrounded by the Wei army and ambushed Cao Xiu and Cao Chun.

The reinforcements of 10,000 men were wiped out, and the Lord was killed.

The Wei army threw the head of the reinforcement commander into the city, and brought more than 100 prisoners of the reinforcements to the front of the city to be killed, completely destroying Yu Chengcheng's will to fight.

On December 18, Yu Chengcheng was broken.

Since they did not surrender, the administrative officials and military generals were killed, so as to deter the people, so that the residents of the city did not dare to act rashly, and they asked the Wei army to surrender in despair.

After conquering Yucheng City, Guo Jin led the army to approach Guishan City, the capital of Dawan Kingdom.

After destroying all the surrounding military installations, the Wei army completely surrounded the city of Guishan on December 23.

After that, the Wei army cut off the water source in the city and strictly ordered the people in the city to lay down their arms and surrender, so as to save their lives.

King Dawan did not dare to surrender at all, and had hope for reinforcements from Kangju and Guishan, so he refused to surrender, but instead repeated his old tricks, threatening to kill all the sweaty and bloody horses, and demanded that the Wei army retreat.

This attitude angered Guo Jin again.

He's not just here for the sweat and blood.

He responded to King Dawan by besieging him from all sides, and gave King Dawan a more straightforward warning with a large number of fierce fire oil cans and earth-shattering thunder.

After the long-range fire strike, the Wei army began to besiege the city from all sides, storming Guishan City, and completely did not have any correspondence with the king of Dawan.

On the other side, the reinforcements that King Dawan was expecting also changed slightly.

The Kushan Empire was faced with a dilemma between entering and not advancing.

At this time, a large number of nobles and courtiers who had commercial and trade dealings with Wei advised the emperor not to lose big because of small things.

Friendly relations with the Wei people and trade were one of the important pillars of the Kushan Empire's finances, and if they suffered losses as a result, the Kushan's newly improved financial situation would take a sharp turn for the worse.

Emperor Guishan thought about it and felt that it made sense.

Commercial trade with Wei is one of the largest financial inputs in recent years, and if we lose this input, wouldn't it be a big loss?

However, some people feel that if Dawan is allowed to be eliminated by Wei, Wei will be able to arbitrarily meddle in regional politics and break the balance of regional politics, which is a very dangerous thing.

The Wei people eliminated the Dawan Kingdom and extended their power tentacles to the region, which is a very unoptimistic thing.

According to the previous intelligence, many countries in the Western Regions have been finished, and basically this war can be characterized as the battle of Wei to expand its territory.

The significance of keeping Dawan to the Kushan Kingdom is definitely higher than keeping the commercial interests.

Emperor Kushan felt that this also made sense.

After thinking about it, Emperor Kushan decided to send troops and not let the Wei people extend their influence to Central Asia-

They also want to monopolize the commercial interests of the Central Asian region.

This is going to let the Wei people themselves come and do business directly with the Sabbatarians and the Romans, how else can they make money from the Sabbaths and the Romans?

He really didn't believe that the Wei people would really stop doing business and not take the Silk Road because of a conflict.

Therefore, he decided to arrest and imprison the envoys sent by Wei, and then send troops to support Dawan, defeat the Wei people, and maintain the regional situation.

As a result, before he could act, a rebellion broke out in the south of the country.

Some people who had been dissatisfied with the emperor for a long time, perhaps because of disputes over economic interests, were unhappy with the emperor's own monopoly of commercial trade with the Wei Empire, and could not bear it, so civil strife broke out.

The rebellion was in full swing, with hundreds of thousands of participants, and the momentum was so great that it had a tendency to sweep the south, so frightened that the Kushan Emperor immediately stopped thinking about fighting with Wei.

Fortunately, the envoys of Wei have not been caught, otherwise it would really be irreparable.

When the time comes, he will be in a dilemma when he fights on two fronts, with the enemy army on one side and the internal rebels on the other, and he will be really miserable.

Feeling the favor of luck, Emperor Kushan felt extremely happy.

At this moment, he can't intervene in the war between Wei and Dawan, and now he only hopes that the Dawan people will fight for their own strength, or the Kangju people will be able to drive the Wei people back and protect his interests by the way.

He's going to concentrate all his efforts on quelling the rebellion.

What will happen in the future is really not something he can intervene in.
