One Thousand Forty-Nine They were ready for a battle of life and death
Under such a crisis, Attami also did the limit of what he could do.
For example, when he tried to confess this matter and threw the pot on Xinlimi, he slandered Xinlimi, exonerated himself, and said that all the blame was done by Xinlimi.
Then he also said that he was willing to apologize, how many cattle, sheep, horses and money to give, and he was willing to be a vassal of the Wei Empire forever, and asked Cao Xiu not to crusade against him or anything like that.
Then spread all kinds of news to their own people.
What do you say This is a conspiracy of Xin Limi, it is a bastard thing done by Xin Limi, Xin Limi killed the Wei people and blamed them, he has already defended to Cao Xiu, and Cao Xiu will believe him.
They should unite and kill Xinli Mi to prove their innocence or something.
Not to mention, in a terrified situation, Attami's statement has really become a lifesaver for some people.
They were willing to believe Attami's statement, and under the leadership of Attami, they fought back against Xinlimi, and they really stabilized the battle.
The two sides have once again entered a state of confrontation.
But the advantage of Xinli Mi can no longer be reversed, even in a state of confrontation, Xinli Mi will continue to lead the army to take the initiative to attack, but Attami can't do this.
Cao Xiu led the armies of the Seven Kingdoms of Shanbei to crusade against Atami together, and the matter was too big.
Under this circumstance, in late August of the fourth year of Yande, the armies of Qiuzi, Gumo, and Wensu had all arrived in its Qiancheng, where they were inspected by Cao Xiu, the protector of the Western Regions.
To be honest, looking at these armies, Cao Xiu felt like he went back in time to more than ten years ago when he saw those armies of Yuan Shao and Yuan Shu.
That's what I saw at that time.
Crooked melons and cracked dates, crooked columns and queues, and the army's equipment is not uniform.
Some of the front units are considered elite troops, and the further back you go, the more you can see those with all kinds of weapons and wearing all kinds of clothes without armor.
At first glance, it was recruited temporarily.
With the size of these countries, it is not easy to maintain a standing army of several hundred to a thousand.
The rest of the army was recruited temporarily during the war, and when there were more troops, they would have to be out of production, and once they were out of production, it would be a huge burden for the country to raise troops.
Guo was engaged in tuntian fields all over the country, desperately squeezing the peasants to accumulate grain in order to be able to afford a full-time professional army, and the productivity of these small countries was simply not enough to support the maintenance of a large number of troops.
That is, now it can be taken out to curry favor with Cao Xiu, so that he can reward him after winning the battle in the future.
When the war was over, most of the people here would have been dismissed and returned home to continue farming and working as cattle and horses.
So I don't expect them to have any fighting power.
I really can't believe that they can do such a thing as gathering into a tight military formation like the Wei army and crushing all the enemies on the battlefield.
The same thing can happen in Usun.
There will not be too many standing armies of Wusun Da Kunmi and Xiao Kunmi, and tens of thousands of people will be pulled up as soon as they are pulled up, and there will be only one or two thousand standing troops in peacetime, and they will be temporarily assembled when they want to fight.
Now they have assembled temporarily, and other countries can also assemble temporarily.
Cao Xiu didn't care whether these troops tried their best or not, anyway, they themselves were a rabble, and those who were pulled out as cannon fodder, and Duoduo and the Wusun people consumed each other, it would be the most beautiful.
Cao Xiu's decisive force was 2,000 Wei cavalry, and 2,000 elite Wei cavalry had not yet used Cao Ren's support.
Cao Ren sent someone to ask Cao Xiu if he needed military support, but Cao Xiu shook his head and refused.
Because Cao Xiu felt that on such a battlefield, two thousand elites were enough to reflect the strength of the Wei army.
When the cavalry of the Wei army appeared on the stage, it did blind the eyes of many generals such as Qiuzi.
They were really strange when they saw the Wei army's sophisticated armor and thick and long weapons.
Could it be that the Wei army could use these terrible long weapons to fight on horseback?
Looking again, they found that the Wei cavalry had a cushion-like thing under their buttocks, low in the middle and high on the sides, as if it could stabilize their figures......
New gear?
There are also stirrups on the two feet, they have only one side, which is still used to facilitate getting on and off the horse, but the Wei cavalry has two sides......
This is also a new type of equipment?
Someone who had the courage to step forward and ask Cao Xiu if this was new equipment, and Cao Xiu gave an affirmative answer.
"My Majesty Wei Tianzi sympathizes with the hard work of our soldiers, and specially tailors the equipment for our soldiers, which is excellent and expensive, what's the matter, are you interested?"
They all said that they were just curious, not interested.
They had also seen such equipment when they were in the combined caravan before, but at that time, their energy was on goods and making money, and they didn't pay attention to it, and they didn't notice it until they were going to fight this time.
Does it make any sense?
They didn't pay much attention to it.
Cao Xiu held a pledge meeting in its Qiancheng, and then led a 30,000-strong Western Regions Combined Army to attack north to find trouble with the Wusun people.
It didn't take long for Zhao Yan, the governor of the Western Regions, to also take the combined army of the other four countries with 20,000 men to attack the west and attack the Wusun people from the other direction.
Under the respective commands of Cao Xiu and Zhao Yan, the two combined armies of the Western Regions launched attacks on Wusun Xiaokunmi Atami for the first time in almost sixty or seventy years.
Going back further, it was a defeat in the Eastern Han Dynasty under the leadership of the Western Regions Changshi Mansion.
It was also a war initiated by the Eastern Han Dynasty's Western Regions Changshi, leading the Western Regions countries to send troops to fight against the rebellious and unsubordinate, but unfortunately, they were defeated.
After that defeat, the Eastern Han government gradually lost control of the Western Regions, and then encountered the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
And this time, Cao Xiu was not mentally prepared to lose the battle.
He wants to win the battle and establish his prestige.
In the future, the annexation of the Western Regions will have to rely on its own war to lay the foundation.
Atami's side encountered a rollercoaster-like change in mood in a short period of time, and after the messenger sent out to ask Cao Xiu for peace was sent back with Cao Xiu's head cut off, it can be regarded as completely dead.
He vigorously disseminated the news that this was a conspiracy of the new force, in an attempt to reverse public opinion and stabilize people's minds.
But his own heart has not been stabilized, so how can he stabilize the hearts of his people?
Finally, when Xinli Mi was still attacking in front, the news that Cao Xiu led the Western Regions United Army to crusade against him in two ways still came.
The news that left him desperate and overwhelmed.
And in the midst of such deep despair, a new conspiracy launched a strong attack on him.
The five clan elders felt that everything was Attami's fault, so they decided to unite to kill Atami and use his head to apologize to Cao Xiu in exchange for Cao Xiu's forgiveness.
However, when they began to implement their plan, they were killed by Attami because of their bad luck.
In a fit of rage, Attami led his personal guards to kill them all, cutting off all their heads and hanging them on the flagpole to establish his authority.
After such a sneak coup, Attami's mentality changed.
Panic turned to madness, and he frantically killed the rebels, and then gave a frenzied speech to the warriors who followed him.
Say that they are an outcast, abandoned by the despicable rebels and the evil Wei people united together.
They are about to be sacrificed, along with their families and property, and their families will be ravaged like slaves, their property will be stripped away, and no one will survive.
The only hope of surviving is to fight to the end, follow him, and fight to the end.
Make a final bet with the only life you can lose, pick up your own weapons, ride your own warhorse, and make the last resistance!
After an impassioned and crazy speech, Attami miraculously managed to combine the crumbling morale of the army and the fighting spirit of the soldiers.
All who remained believed that they were abandoned.
They will be deprived of everything, including their families and property.
If they don't fight hard, they will lose everything.
The only hope is to fight to the end with Attami!
They don't give us peace, we have to rely on our own courage to fight for peace!
After the tears of anguish shed among the people of Attami, each of them swore a bloody oath - an oath to fight to the end.
An atmosphere of mourning gradually permeated the tribe.
In addition to those who escaped in advance, the remaining 19,000 warriors of Attami were also the last force he could rely on, and they had no way to retreat in the face of a crusade army several times his size.
Their wives and children were right behind them, and they had no way out.
Feelings of grief and anger dominated Attami's army, and this mood erupted when the new forces invaded again.
The army of Xinlimi, which had been gaining the upper hand for a long time, was beaten by the mourning soldiers who suddenly broke out, and more than 500 people were killed in battle.
This time Attami did not pursue, but gradually shrank the front and the army.
Atami led the group back to their current settlement, leading them to transform the hill where they lived into a simple fortress with some defensive power.
Digging pits, poisoning them, setting traps, putting obstacles, etc., and then all the women and children above a certain height were forced to take up arms to defend their homes.
You can't run away.
He can run, the other party can also chase, and with the bastard of Xin Limi, he will definitely not die.
In such a situation, resistance on the spot may be a way out.
They were ready for a life-and-death battle.
Xin Limi felt that Atami was a little evil this time, so he didn't dare to attack alone, but took the initiative to send someone to contact Cao Xiu's Western Regions United Army.
Prepare to join forces with Cao Xiu and launch an attack together to defeat Atami.
And Attami sent someone to take the initiative to contact Cao Xiu for the last time in despair.
Of course it doesn't make sense.
Cao Xiu handed over this justification messenger to Xin Limi, who killed him.
"Atami has committed a heinous crime, killed the messenger of the kingdom, and now he wants to repent, where is there such a cheap thing? Don't even think about it! ”
Xin Limi bent down to Cao Xiu and saluted: "Cao Duhu, although we look at our performance, we will do our best to eliminate Atami for you and eliminate the rebellion!" ”
"I'm going to look forward to the results of the Great Kunmi."
Cao Xiu was very happy.
He was very happy to see that Xin Limi had regained his will to fight because he had come.
Now it's up to Xin Limi to see if he has the ability to really defeat Atami.
It doesn't matter if he can't beat it, the more people who die, the happier he is.
Money can be given, rewards can be given, and it will be earned back very quickly.
If the person is gone, there will be no way back if there are no ten or twenty years.
People are more important than money.
But Xinlimi obviously doesn't think so.
Although it is difficult to say the armies of the rest of the countries, they did not dare not go forward to fight when Cao Xiu gave an order.
The Great War began at the end of August of the fourth year of Yande.
