One Thousand and Fifty-One Death of Attami
Atami set up multiple layers of defense on the mountain pack, one layer higher than the first, and the first floor also needed a little fewer people than the first floor, resisting step by step.
For the previous seven days, the first layer of defense had not been broken through by the Western Regions United Army, and in the evening of the eighth day, the first layer of defense was suddenly broken through.
Probably the quantitative change has led to the qualitative change, and the tipping point has come.
At the scene of an offensive and defensive battle in a certain place, more than a dozen Wei soldiers led the soldiers of the Western Regions to fight each other desperately with spears and the Atami army.
They attacked fiercely one after another for more than half an hour, and as a result, they actually broke through the defense line here.
They slaughtered all the defenders, demolished the defenses, and rushed in from here, breaking through the first layer of defense.
Such a line of defense can break through an entire circle by breaking through only one point.
This group of soldiers of the Western Regions United Army, numbering about 800 people, immediately rushed forward with a hundred times more energetic screams, and directly began to attack the second layer of defense line.
Atami's army apparently did not react, and hurriedly tried to stop the Western Regions United Army, but failed miserably, and the second layer of defense was torn open by the Western Regions United Army.
At this position, Attami finally reacted, and immediately mobilized elite soldiers to fill it, and he almost went into battle himself.
The morale of the United Army of the Western Regions that had just broken through was like a rainbow, and the elite army of Attami was desperate for their lives.
Spears and axes slashed at each other, and each other's faces were covered with blood, and corpses were everywhere.
After a period of fighting until dark, Attami's army finally blocked the breakthrough momentum of the Western Regions United Army and prevented them from breaking through the third layer of defense.
But the first two layers of defense could no longer be recovered.
The Western Regions Coalition Army that came in from the breach was very large, and their numbers were large and their morale was high.
And once they lost their advantage in the terrain, Atami's army was immediately divided and surrounded by Cao Xiu's superior forces, and annihilated one by one.
The generals of the Western Regions United Army were overjoyed, their morale was greatly boosted, and their will to fight increased sharply.
After seven days of fighting, he finally won a brilliant victory on the eighth day.
Breaking through the two layers of defense in one breath, and killing until dark did not kill all the troops of Atami who were still resisting, it was really a brilliant result.
And in this way, there is only one last line of defense left, and Attami will have to face the stubbornness of the Western Regions United Army.
It doesn't feel like it's an ordinary coolness, it's a two-way coolness.
The generals of the Western Regions congratulated Cao Xiu one after another, and Cao Xiu's prestige suddenly rose by a big cut, and he felt that he was about to break the table.
"Don't be so happy for the time being, there is still a line of defense that has not been broken, we have to continue to work hard."
Cao Xiu's heart was so happy that he flew into the sky, and he enjoyed this feeling of being sought after by everyone very much, but on the surface, he still maintained a fairly rational expression, with a solemn expression and the demeanor of a famous general.
So everyone began to praise Cao Xiu for his style of a famous general, and he will definitely lead the Western Regions to prosperity in the future......
Anyway, Cao Xiu is about to flip it.
After that, the specific results were counted.
The Western Regions Coalition lost more than 300 soldiers in the First World War, but the First World War killed more than 800 Atami soldiers, and more than 1,600 were captured by the Western Regions Coalition Army.
So, of course, it's a brilliant win.
The victory in this battle was expected, but Cao Xiu was not very satisfied with the results.
Because the number of casualties is not very large, and it has not yet reached the casualty rate expected by Cao Xiu, he feels that the number of casualties is too small.
Naturally, this battle will not use the logistics system of the Wei army, and it is impossible to use the powerful logistics and medical capabilities that the Wei army needs to show, and there is no need to use the long-range attacks that the Wei army is good at.
To tell the truth, if Cao Xiu brought the Wei army to fight, and a wave of fierce oil cans smashed into it, he could directly burn all these people of the Atami tribe to charcoal, and he would easily win, and the number of casualties could be controlled below a hundred.
Cao Xiu is very confident.
But because the main force is the Western Regions United Army, which is the army of the Western Regions countries, Cao Xiu will certainly not use such a big killing weapon to win.
The longer the war drags on, the more casualties and losses can be caused, and the more satisfied Cao Xiu will be.
Anyway, this is also normal, and it is what these armies who have not experienced the real way of fighting of the Wei army think are normal.
There were many casualties, many casualties, and the war dragged on for a long time.
The mode of war in this era has quietly undergone some changes in the hands of the Wei army created by Guo Peng, but among the military groups other than the Wei army, the traditional mode of war is still the mainstream.
But the seizure after that will be relatively large, and they can destroy the other party and snatch everything from the other party, which is very good for them.
When the time comes, directly divide the spoils of war, not only can appease their emotions, but Cao Xiu can also get a reputation for fairness and strictness.
How nice.
Therefore, Cao Xiu felt that Ma Yuan's proposal for this plan was simply a stroke of genius, driving the tiger and devouring the wolf, and he didn't have to lose too much of his strength.
This war, which consisted of nearly 50,000 troops, did not cost the Wei army much grain and money at all, and the overall effect could be achieved.
That's great.
Cao Xiu is happy, and of course the armies of the Western Regions are also happy.
Both sides are clearly not happy for the same reason, but it doesn't matter, as long as they are happy.
The next day's fighting could continue.
Taking advantage of his illness and wanting his life, when there was only the last line of defense left, Cao Xiu would not continue to engage in these fatigue tactics, but pressed all the troops up in one go, fighting from morning to night.
The soldiers of the Western Regions Coalition Army marched forward with spears and long knives.
Not to be outdone, in order to survive and survive, they also did everything to start a bloody battle with the Western Regions United Army.
From the beginning of the sun to the setting of the sun, the soldiers of the two armies frantically faced each other, frantically fighting each other, shouting and screaming, and using the weapons in their hands to put each other to death with all their might.
Then, by accident, he was also pierced through the body with a spear, or his head was cut off by a long knife.
When the battle was at its most intense, there were even two sides who directly hugged each other and bit each other, blurring each other's flesh and blood in the most primitive way.
The entire battlefield is a Shura purgatory.
And the saddest thing is that there may be a considerable number of people who do not know why they are fighting so this battlefield.
It doesn't matter, no one cares what they think.
No one can say that they can go to the battlefield alive, and no one dares to say that they must be the lucky guy, especially when Cao Xiu deliberately used such backward and inefficient tactics.
The multi-day struggle and the death match from morning to night brought great casualties to both the Western Regions United Army and Atami's army, but both sides were already red-eyed.
One side for victory, one side for survival, clamoring, shouting, fighting, roaring, trying their best to kill the other.
As time passed, the more outnumbered still prevailed over the smaller.
More people is stronger, especially in this kind of purely desperate cold weapon battlefield.
After all, Atami's side could not resist the advantage of being outnumbered, and under the frantic offensive of the Western Regions United Army, the last line of defense was breached, and the Western Regions United Army launched a final attack on their camp.
At this point, there was nothing Attami could do, and he led his most elite escort team to fight in person and fight the final bloody battle with the Western Regions United Army.
Cao Xiu did not continue to stay, and sent all the more than 1,000 Wei troops out to storm the camp of Atami, and after a day and a night of bloody fighting, the crumbling camp finally collapsed uncontrollably.
Atta did his best, even some sturdy women and young boys used it, and they all took weapons to fight on the battlefield, but they still couldn't resist the onslaught of the Western Regions Coalition Army.
Xin Limi led his subordinates to rush to the front, killing the most ferocious and ruthless, and also paying the greatest price.
Seeing the scene of Xin Limi leading people to rush and kill, Cao Xiu really didn't know that these Wusun people were so fierce when they started a civil war.
Atami's troops fought less and less, and the more they fought, the more they could not maintain the last line of defense, and finally they were surrounded by the Western Regions United Army and completely collapsed.
The last dozen or so guards left by Attami's side were also killed, and Atami still wanted to make a final resistance, brandishing a long knife and slashing indiscriminately, to no avail, and was stabbed in the body by several spears, piercing the armor and piercing the body.
He's dead.
