One thousand one hundred and seventy-one immortal Dawan, vowing not to return to the country
The Great Wan Kingdom is no longer the original Great Wan Kingdom.
At the beginning, the Great Wan Kingdom thought that it was impossible for Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to attack them across the entire Western Regions, so he killed the Han envoys unscrupulously, but was beaten by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty for four years, and since then he has confessed.
After that, Dawan knew that if the Han people were angry, they would really cross thousands of miles to attack.
Not to mention that the Wei army, which currently rules the Han land, has penetrated the Western Regions!
According to the reports of some Shule people who had fled to Dawan to seek refuge in advance, the Wei army had gone mad and had already destroyed all the countries along the way in the Western Regions, and Shule was the last to be wiped out.
Now that the entire Western Regions are under the control of the Wei army, they no longer have a state.
King Dawan was even more frightened.
He was very worried that he would be killed by the Wei army, and originally did not dare to confront the Wei army, but the Wei army's requirements were too harsh, and they simply wanted to encroach on his sovereignty, which was a condition that he could not accept.
So he asked for help from the Kangju Kingdom and the Kushan Empire on the one hand, and urgently mobilized the domestic army on the other.
In a short period of time, Dawan mobilized 30,000 people to the border city of Yu Chengcheng to assist Yu Chengcheng in holding the border defense line against the invasion of the Wei army.
Then he mobilized the remaining 30,000 troops to hold on to many other cities in the country, especially the Ershi City, which was rich in sweat and blood.
After doing all this, King Dawan sent someone to the Wei prince Guo Jin, explaining to Guo Jin what they had done and admitting their mistake.
And said that as long as Guo Jin is willing to quit the army, he is willing to provide ten top-level sweat and blood horses every year, and five hundred other horses of various types, which are selected by Wei Guan.
This is quite a fortune, quite a big bleeding, he feels that he is like this, Wei State will not be so ruthless.
But what Guo Peng wants is all of Dawan Kingdom, that piece of land, that piece of land that can develop agriculture and feed hundreds of thousands of people, who wants your sweat and blood BMW!
Wrong! The land also wants it, and the sweat and blood BMW also want it!
I want them all!
Guo said viciously.
Guo someone's will is Guo Jin's will, his father wants it all, and he naturally wants it all.
Absolutely will not let the slightest thing in Dawan fall into the hands of others.
And the news that prompted Guo Jin to speed up the march also came-
The king of Dawan told Guo Jin that they had asked for help from the Kangju Kingdom and the Kushan Empire, begging them to send troops to help the Dawan Kingdom.
Moreover, the Great Wan Kingdom itself mobilized tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to fight against the Wei army and defend the border.
As long as the Wei army retreats, everything is negotiable, if the Wei army does not retreat, then unite the army of the Kushan Empire and the army of Kangju to fight against the Wei army, and absolutely not let the Wei army succeed.
This completely angered Guo Jin.
He remembered that when facing the attack of tens of thousands of Han troops led by Li Guangli, Dawan also threatened that if the Han army did not retreat, they would kill all the sweat and blood, burn all the jade, and also move out of Kangju to threaten Li Guangli.
But the current Wei army is no longer the Han army of the past.
"On the one hand, begging for mercy, on the other hand, begging for help, how can such a second-class thief tolerate him to survive in the world! If you don't destroy Dawan, you vow not to return to the country! ”
Guo Jin was furious.
King Dawan received the seal of Wei and was the canonized king of Wei, although he did not belong to the ranks of the Western Regions like Wusun in the strict sense, but he was also a vassal state of Wei.
Now asking for help from foreign countries and vainly trying to use military forces against the suzerainty can be characterized as treason, so he didn't discuss it.
Guo Jin was furious and consulted Cao Ren and other generals.
The generals felt that even in the worst case, they were not afraid to fight Kangju and Kushan, and it just so happened that they also wanted to see how strong the armies of the two regional powers, Kangju and Kushan, really were.
If they dared to fight with the Wei army for the sake of the Great Wan Kingdom, the generals would naturally not be afraid to fight with the armies of these two countries.
At present, the Wei army has complete food and straw, and the military supplies and materials of the Western Regions countries along the way are enough to support four months, and four months is enough time for the logistics troops to keep up with the footsteps of the main force, so even if it takes four months, there is no worry that the army will suffer.
Affirmed by the generals, Guo Jin had the bottom in his heart and made a decision alone.
He decided to send people to the Kushan Empire and Kangju Kingdom to ask them not to send troops, otherwise they would bear the consequences, and at the same time ordered the army to speed up the march, with Guan Yu, who was good at attacking, as the main general, and let Guan Yu lead the elite army to open the way.
So the Wei army galloped all the way towards the border of Dawan.
At the beginning of December, under the cold wind, the Wei army arrived at the border of Dawan.
Guan Yu ordered to build a military village, reorganize the army, recuperate for two days, prepare the materials needed for the attack, and then personally observed the defense system of Dawan Kingdom.
He found that relying on the mountainous and highland topography of the border area, the Dawan Kingdom set up the military fortress in some very prominent places that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, condescendingly looked down on the Wei army, and also set up military villages and obstacles on the road, resisted head-on, and locked every offensive route of the Wei army.
Only by breaking through the border defenses can they enter the Dawan Kingdom and attack their border city of Yuchengcheng.
It seems to be a very good defense system, if the Wei army does not have long-range attack weapons, it is indeed difficult to attack, and it will take human lives.
But now that there are long-range strike weapons, everything is easy to say.
So Guan Yu sent the siege troops to assemble ordnance and attack the military fortress and defense system of the Dawan Kingdom with fierce fire oil cans, boulders and earth-shaking thunder, so that the Dawan army, which had never seen such an attack, had no power to fight back, and they screamed to dodge the boulders, earth-shaking thunder and fierce fire oil canisters, and they didn't even have time to save the fire.
In winter, the air here is dry, there is little precipitation, it is easy to burn with flames, the fire is fierce, the fortifications of the Dawan army have been destroyed, and the Wei army advances step by step, step by step to seize the advantageous terrain.
Within two or three days, the Dawan army fell behind, retreated again and again, and put the Wei army into the country, Guan Yu led 10,000 troops to advance rapidly, although the number was less than the Dawan army, but it had an advantage.
In this way, the Dawan army realized that it could not play offensive and defensive battles with the Wei army, but had to engage the Wei army in close quarters.
So on the ninth day of the first month of December, the Dawan army, led by some brave generals, confronted the Wei army and set up a position to try to fight a decisive battle with the Wei army.
Guan Yu was overjoyed when he learned that he liked to fight head-on, but he didn't like to advance layer by layer.
Guan Yu ordered the army to take the initiative to attack, and the Wei army formed a neat military formation to attack the Dawan army.
Dawan's generals worked hard to motivate the army to fight bravely, some of them beating drums and some of them blowing their horns to motivate their troops.
The army dared to fight, but the offensive of the Wei army also began.
As is customary, a salvo was fired first.
The Wei crossbowmen, who had always been skilled in battle, well-trained, and powerful, sat down one after another, kicked the bowstring with their legs, and aimed the arrows at a forty-five degree angle in front of them, as if they were a picture composed of copy and paste.
"Put!"
As soon as the front-line commander gave the order, the arrow rain rose into the sky, crossed a beautiful arc, and fell on the Dawan army formation like a storm.
The Dawan army tried its best to defend with shields, but the Wei army's arrow rain had a strong impact and armor-piercing power, and the frequency of firing was also very high.
The Wei army's arrow array maintained a strong endurance, and when one soldier was exhausted, he was immediately replaced by another soldier to take over the shooting, so as to form a continuous firepower strike capability for a period of time.
Although this period is not long, the physical blow and psychological oppression of the enemy are very huge.
Finally, the arrow rain attack ended, and the hand-to-hand combat troops of the Wei army also stepped forward in formation, and the Dawan army began to fight fiercely.
