The beginning of this great war was not an advantage for the Western Regions United Army.

In order to show himself to Cao Xiu, Xinli Mi decided to attack first and personally led 10,000 [Wusun Warriors] to launch a crusade against the isolated Atami.

Xin Limi, who was backed by Cao Xiu, was originally very brave and felt that he could win, but the result of the battle was not satisfactory.

To be precise, if Cao Xiu hadn't seen that the situation was not good and ordered the Qiuzi cavalry to attack in time, trying to copy Atami's back road, Xinli Mi would have been overturned by Atami head-on.

Attami was eventually forced back by the Kuzi cavalry.

The battle of the Qiuci cavalry is still very brave, in order to show their combat ability in front of the suzerain, the Qiuci cavalry also uses the old nose to fight.

And Xin Limi lost face in front of Cao Xiu, and also lost face in front of the armies of the three kingdoms of Qiuzi, Wensu and Gumo.

Xinlimi was very annoyed and ashamed of this.

I didn't even dare to face Cao Xiu directly.

Cao Xiu encouraged him.

"The thief is stubborn in a desperate situation, his combat effectiveness is naturally strong, and he is not afraid of life and death, this is not something we can compare, it doesn't matter, victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and it will be good to win next time."

Xin Limi was encouraged by Cao Xiu, and he felt warm in his heart, but in the face of the contemptuous eyes of the other leading generals of the Three Kingdoms, he still felt unhappy.

These countries, which used to tremble under the deterrence of Wusun, now dare to look down on me with the support of the Wei State?

Xin Limi felt that after the war was over, he would have to give them a little color.

After the war is over, he can annex the tribes of Atami and unify Wusun, and when the time comes, his strength will be strong, and it will not be limited by others.

Xinli started dreaming.

The Western Regions Coalition continued to advance, advancing all the way, all the way to being counterattacked and layered by Atami in despair.

Xinli Mi had to try to be the first to attack every time, but each time it may not be able to achieve results, and the armies of Qiuzi, Gumo and Wensu took turns to support and constantly break through Atami's defense.

Eventually, they approached the core of Attami's fortified area.

At the same time, the four-nation combined army led by Shi Zhao Yan, the governor of the Western Regions, also successfully arrived at the periphery of the core defense area of Atami, joined Cao Xiu, and completed the encirclement of Atami.

I have to say that under the battle of the trapped beasts, Attami's army still has a lot of will to fight.

Zhao Yan suffered a lot along the way, and the losses of the armies of the four countries were mixed, and the two armies of the Che Division, which suffered the greatest losses, had already killed more than 200 people in battle.

Obviously, Attami's Wusun army was not powerless, but the difference in strength was too great.

With less than 20,000 troops left, he could not fight against the Western Regions United Army, which had more than 50,000 troops.

Cao Xiu also appropriately gave Attami a choice.

Confess his guilt, give up resistance, and surrender to Cao Xiu, so that he can live, otherwise, how many people will die is not something that Cao Xiu can decide.

Atami killed the messenger sent to persuade him to surrender and expressed his opinion.

He has given up surrendering, and he will fight to the end.

What is the difference between surrendering at this time and committing suicide?

He's going to do the final showdown.

Facing Attami's camp protected by countless obstacle traps, Cao Xiu and Zhao Yan observed together for a while and felt that this was not much of a problem.

Therefore, the infantry of the Western Regions United Army was asked to dispatch in several directions at the same time, destroying traps, destroying obstacles, and clearing obstacles for the rear army while dispatching.

In order to let the armies of the Western Regions countries contribute honestly, Cao Xiu also asked part of the Wei army to join the operation.

Cao Xiu ordered the Wei soldiers to lead the armies of the Western Regions to attack Atami's camp with a large shield on their heads, acting as commanders of the battle.

Attami set up his camp on a relatively high mountain, which is particularly well located.

The overall feel of his camp is one of condescension.

There is a water source in the camp, and there are traces of slaughtered cattle and sheep around it, obviously ready to defend and fight a protracted war, intending to resist the Western Regions Coalition Army with a protracted war and a defensive war.

This is a very clever tactic to avoid the end of one's main force being defeated in one fell swoop on the field battlefield and quickly losing resistance.

But in this way, if the Western Regions Coalition Army has more food supplies than him, he will starve to death.

It is estimated that he is also betting on this possibility.

He bet that the Western Regions Coalition Army would not have so much food.

He was right, the Western Regions United Army really doesn't have so much grain, the countries don't have much grain, and the Wei army doesn't have much grain, so it's not easy to support it for two to three months.

And if Atami's troops kill a lot of cattle and sheep, with the determination to die, the Western Regions Combined Army may not be able to consume Atami.

Encirclement tactics cannot be successful, only attacking, attacking with numerical superiority.

This in itself was also in line with Wei's purpose of waging this war.

It is the use of suzerainty that allows the countries of the Western Regions to expose their strength and consume their strength, especially the war potential of Wusun, so that the advance of the Wei army will become easy.

After that, if there is an opportunity, it is inevitable that there will be one or two such wars, and strive to include all the countries of the Western Regions.

For now, it's better to think of it as an experiment.

So Cao Xiu gave an order, and the strong attack of the Western Regions Combined Army began.

The Wei soldiers led the soldiers of the Western Regions to rush up the mountain with a roar, destroying obstacles, dodging and tearing down traps, and then facing the defense of Atami's troops.

A large number of arrows came from above, and the arrows were fast and accurate.

The armor rate and shield holding rate of the Western Regions United Army are not high, and they are shot by flying arrows all the way, killed, and fall to the ground and never get up again.

Or be shot in the head and die on the spot, or be shot in the shoulder or leg and cry out in pain, or be shot in the chest, abdomen, and then die.

Anyway, there are really a lot of people who die.

Of course, the Western Regions United Army will not completely fail to counterattack, the death squad-like commandos rushed forward, and the crossbowmen in the back also stepped forward to provide them with fire cover, constantly counterattacking with arrows to cover the demolition of the commandos.

The two sides fired at each other, arrows rained down, and a large number of soldiers were killed.

Naturally, the commandos of the Western Regions United Army are so brave and fierce, and the Atami troops will not only attack with bows and crossbows, but they will also take advantage of the advantageous terrain and condescendingly block the assault team with spears.

Condescendingly, hiding behind obstacles, holding a large spear three or four meters long, constantly stabbing and stabbing, one was stabbed to death, and one was stabbed to death.

It was difficult for Rao to attack with soldiers wearing armor from the Wei army, and some unlucky ones were pierced in the face and died on the spot, not to mention the soldiers of the Western Regions who had a fairly limited armor rate.

The first wave of the attack quickly became unsustainable, and because of the heavy losses, it had to retreat back to its original position.

After a little loss, it was found that more than 200 people were killed and more than 500 wounded in a wave of charges by the Western Regions Combined Army, including two Wei soldiers killed in battle.

It can be said that the damage is quite serious.

I don't know how many people were lost on Atami's side, but it is conceivable that the losses must be less than those of the Combine Army.

Of course, this was the case, the condescending position was conducive to defense, and more than 60 people were killed in the battle, and more than 100 were wounded, and the first resistance battle was won.

This victory greatly boosted the morale of Attami's subordinates, who shouted excitedly and sang old songs to celebrate their victory.

And the Combine did not have such an atmosphere, because it was repulsed once, so the atmosphere was not cheerful.

However, this also makes everyone expected, and the failure of the attack several times is completely expected, and it is not worth frustrating.

It's just that Xin Limi felt very unhappy, and felt that Atami, who was singing to celebrate the victory, was laughing at him.

So Xinlimi asked for a second attack, and he would attack alone.

"Cao Duhu, please allow my actions, I really can't bear Atami to mock my people who died bravely in such a way!"

He made a request to Cao Xiu.

Cao Xiu allowed it, and mobilized a group of crossbowmen to cover him.

The assault was swift and immediately interrupted Attami's festivities, and his army was once again engaged in a counterattack.

After almost an hour of fighting, Xinli Mi withdrew with almost 200 corpses in disarray.

Still unable to break through.

"Cao Duhu, I ......"

"Needless to say, I see the bravery of Da Kunmi, this is not Da Kunmi's sin, but the enemy's overpreparation."

Cao Xiu relieved Xin Limi, and then set a new attack plan.

Because the Western Regions Coalition had more troops than Atami's army, they could take turns to fight.

Specifically, it is a daily battle from tomorrow, and the daily battle will not stop, but it can be divided into three commandos, each commando will fight for one day, fight for one day, and rest for two days.

Each country must send troops to form a joint commando team, regardless of the differences between countries, at this moment, everyone is a comrade-in-arms.

The assault team charged forward, with crossbowmen behind them providing fire cover, and the Western Regions Coalition forces marched forward to storm Attami's defenses.

They are large and can fight for one day and rest for two days, while the other side has few people and must go into battle every day, so they will soon be exhausted.

With this manpower advantage, the results can be seen in about ten days and half a month.

"Our army should give full play to the advantage of being outnumbered and outnumbered, and make full use of this advantage to suppress the terrain advantage of Atami, and I believe that we will soon see results."

Cao Xiu announced his strategy and tactics.

Cao Xiu decided like this, and they didn't dare to object, and the Wei army would also go into battle, not watching from behind and letting them be cannon fodder, so they did what Cao Xiu said.

For the next few days, Cao Xiu personally commanded the Western Regions United Army to continuously assault upward.

Fighting every day, non-stop, with the advantage of numbers and the atami against the atami, in order to counter the terrain advantage and preparation advantage of the atami, forcing them to get enough rest time, had to brace their strength to come to fight.

Every day they faced the energetic Western Regions United Army, and every day they had to fight quite tiring hand-to-hand combat, although their losses were not large, but the loss of energy was full of ten.

Attami apparently didn't realize this in time, he was just happy with his constant victories.

Every day's battle can repel the Western Regions Combined Army, and every battle can take the lives of dozens or hundreds of Western Regions Combined Army soldiers.

In seven days, the Western Regions Coalition Army directly killed more than 1,000 people, and Atami also killed more than 500 people.

The number of dead in battle is not very large, but the number of wounded is higher than the number of war dead.

The food on both sides has not bottomed out, and the strategy and tactics have not fundamentally changed the situation, which makes the generals of the Western Regions countries feel embarrassed and have some thoughts of retreat.

Cao Xiu did not make any speeches, but commanded the battle on the eighth day normally.

The situation changed on this day.
