Jiang Wei immediately appointed the tall and strong man of the flower thorn Zimo as the leader, and recruited this fifteen thousand strong men. Bayi Chinese?? Net? ≤. Jiang Wei looked at it, and his heart blossomed, Cao Zhen's Han army was at a disadvantage in numbers, Puxiu and Se Yang already had the spearhead of supporting the army, Cao Zhen still had to use them, it was hard to say anything, Jiang Wei used a little trick to pull this fifteen thousand flower thorn people into his camp, how could he make Puxiu have a scruple in his heart.

Cao Zhen heard that Jiang Wei successfully got 15,000 people under his command, and pushed the boat down the river, making Jiang Wei the main general of Mulu City. In this way, there are nearly 20,000 horses in Mulu City. As for the young Zhuang in the city, the people and horses of Puxiu and the young and strong of the 20,000 flower thorns are basically harmed, and the city can't make much waves, Cao Zhen waved his hand, and Puxiu took more than 100,000 young men and rushed to Lan City. As for how Mulu City defends, Cao Zhen believes in Jiang Wei, it depends on what he does.

Guo Jia led a large army across the Amu Darya River and joined forces with Xiahoudun and Zhao Yun, and when he heard that the two had eaten up the 80,000 reinforcements of the Kushan Empire, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Half of the Kushan Empire's troops had been trapped in the northern battlefield, the west had to deal with the power of the Sassanid Empire, and the southern body poison (i.e., the Indian region) was in the period of the Baiyan Dynasty, after the Baiyan Dynasty overthrew the Mauryan Dynasty, King Su Mujia pursued an expansion strategy, and the Shan Kingdom in the east had belonged to the Han Dynasty, and there were mountains as the boundary between the two countries, and it was really difficult to transport the troops to the past; The land of the Han Dynasty, Su Mujia has always been coveted, but unfortunately it can only pass through the narrow area of Panyue Kingdom, which is close to Yongchang County of Yizhou of the Han Dynasty. In Yongchang County, Cao Cao has hundreds of thousands of soldiers, and the Panyue Kingdom is already in danger. The Qiang land of the Baicheng Dynasty and the Han Dynasty has the highest mountain in the world, and the Himalayas are divided, and wanting to occupy the Qiang land of the Han Dynasty through the Himalayas is tantamount to a fool's dream, so Su Mujia set his sights on the Kushan Empire in the north.

Vesudeva I now wrinkled his brows, the Han ** team in the north, the army of the Sassanid Empire in the west, the army of Sumuga in the south, and the Himalayas in the east, if it were not for the high mountains, it is estimated that the army of the Han Empire would also march from the east. In the face of such a situation, Vesudeva I really called the heavens and the earth not to be spiritual, empty and full of ambition, mixed with a Kushan, Tianzhu (India), and Sassanid (Persian) as one, and now it seems that it is the moon in the mirror. The army of the Han Empire is aggressive, Maracanda, Flower Thorn Zimo has changed hands, Mulu City and Lan City are about to be lost, if the Han army breaks through Lan City and attaches to Gao, the former capital of this empire will soon fall, and Früsha will face the aggressive offensive of the Han army, what should I do?

Under the command of Guo Jia, the Han army rushed to Lan City, with an army of more than 100,000 people, and surrounded Lan City, and the 50,000 reinforcements led by Mangbudieu had just arrived outside Lan City, and they were also surrounded by the Han army.

Zhu Falan only had 50,000 horses in his hands, plus the 20,000 allocated to him by Bogu, plus the 50,000 reinforcements from Manmbudieu, there were already 120,000 troops inside and outside the Lan Clan. The number of the Han army has gone through many major battles, that is, a little more than 130,000, and the Kushan people have a strong city to rely on, and the difference of 10,000 is negligible.

Guo Jia's fingers hit the table without rhythm, pondering how to attack the Lan City, the reaction of the Kushan Empire passed the original expectations, even if the Lan City was captured, the road to Gaofu was mostly a mountain road, if the Kushan people set up an ambush in the mountains and resisted steadily, the Han army rushed to Gaofu City, I am afraid that at least one-third of the men and horses would be lost, so the Lan City battle must control the casualties within an acceptable range.

Cao Zhen led 7,000 Han troops, 40,000 Kangju men, and more than 100,000 people from Hua Thorn Zimo arrived, which made Guo Jia's eyes light up.

Wei Yanli was outside the Yumen Pass, Xu Rong, Zhang Yan, Cao Hong, Li Dian, Zhou Tai, Zhang Xiu, Wen Ping, Huo Jun, and Ling Tong each led 20,000 men and horses to arrive, and they all went to the main general to order. Li Dian and Zhou Tai have always existed as Wei Yan's deputies in Yizhou, and the relationship is needless to say, seeing Wei Yan, after the symbolic etiquette, it was a burst of nonsense, and the topic was nothing more than how to conquer cities in foreign lands and expand the territory for the Han Empire.

Wei Yan looked at the nine generals in front of him, the three-inch beard he had just grown was about to reach his eyebrows, Wei Yan knew that he was not as good as Zhou Tai, Zhang Xiu, and Wen Ping in terms of force; In terms of qualifications, he is not as good as Xu Rong; In terms of arranging troops, Xu Rong, Cao Hong, Li Dian, and Wen Ping, all of them are much better than themselves, but the emperor makes himself the main general, and what he values is that he has followed the emperor for the longest time, so he can use it with confidence.

Wei Yan was absolutely tender in front of Xu Rong, looking at the old-timers with gray temples, he didn't dare to hold it up, and lowered his posture and said: "The emperor's edict takes me as the main general, and I am terrified in my heart." When we get out of Yumen Pass, we must be controlled by Lord Liu Ziyang, and when we go out of Guishuang in the west, Lord Guo Fengxiao will control us. According to the latest express, Lord Guo Fengxiao has commanded the army, captured Maracanda, leveled the flower thorn Zimo, and the army is marching towards the Lan City. Therefore, we waited for the army to make a little supply in Puchanghai, and hurried to Chigu City at the foot of the Tianshan Mountains along the Tarim River. Marakanda City is presided over by Zhang Heng, and I will wait for a while, divide our troops to occupy Mulu City, and then rush to the outside of Lan City. If the war is stalemate, we may eat a piece of the pie, if Lord Guo Fengxiao has commanded the men and horses to take Mulu City, we have to follow behind the buttocks of the people, rush to Gaofu, and participate in the battle of Flousha. ”

Wei Yan said that the layers were clear, and everyone also had a general understanding of the battle situation in Guishan, Xu Rong, as a veteran, said with a smile: "Wen Chang, it's not the old man who boasts, you just think that I am good at defense, and I don't know how to attack, but in fact, it is very wrong." I think back then, I followed the emperor to conquer Jizhou, go down to Luoyang, and conquer the city, no less than Lianpo. Now that I am old and ambitious, I will lead the army to charge when I capture the Kushan country. ”

Cao Hong's force value in the Three Kingdoms era, can only be ranked second-rate, at this time it is already more than half a hundred, the desperate San Lang of the year, at this time the momentum is not lost back then, hearing Xu Rong, who is more than ten years older than himself, poured out his liver and gallbladder, and is not far behind, stroked his gray beard and said: "My life has long been sold to the emperor." Thinking about the past, the battle of Wancheng, I unfortunately fell into Liu Xuande's plot, my fate hung by a thread, Brother Mengde rode a horse, carried me to the emperor for treatment, the emperor didn't say a word, tried his best to heal me, let me recover as before. Let's see, everyone, am I still a fierce man? Think back then, I was an enemy to the emperor, what kind of big mind is the emperor? You don't know, the military physician said at that time that Cao Zilian could only save his life when he met the national hand, and he would fight on the battlefield, so don't think about it in this life. And guess what? The emperor not only saved my life, but Lao Tzu arrived on the battlefield, and he was still a dragon. So Wen Chang, I don't do this work of defending the city, I want to do it, so Lao Tzu will go to the front line, follow the army, and kill his mother's turtle son. ”

Wei Yan's head is a bit big, no, it's really big. Xu Rong and Cao Hong's absolute old qualifications in the army, as well as Zhang Yan, Li Dian, Zhang Xiu, and Wen Ping, speaking of qualifications, which one is in front of them, Xu Rong, Cao Hong, and Jiang Gui are old and spicy, competing to go to the battlefield, unwilling to stay in the rear. Seriously, according to Wei Yan's original idea, he put these two old guys in the rear to guard the city, which is good, before he left the Jade Gate, he lit the eye drops first.

Wei Yan couldn't cry or laugh in his heart, but his face was full of smiles, and he said happily: "The two old generals are the pillars of my Han Dynasty and the role models of the younger generations. We waited for the army to enter Guishuang, and everything was decided by Lord Guo Fengxiao. For now, we can only work together to enter the Western Regions and drive to Guishan as soon as possible. ”

Li Dian and Zhou Tai, as Wei Yan's old subordinates, of course had to speak for the chief; Huo Jun, as a rising star, also made great contributions to the conquest of Jingzhou, and the three of them said together: "Wen Chang is very worried, and everything will be planned when he enters Guishuang." ”

Xu Rong and Cao Hong were suddenly speechless, their mouths were still chattering, and the commander's own men and horses took the lead in passing through the Yumen Pass, and with a whip of the horse, they ran towards Pu Changhai.

The armies of Zhu Farran and Mambodieu formed horns against each other, and they looked very strong. Guo Jia made arrangements while talking and laughing.

Kangju's 40,000 horses and more than 100,000 young men of Hua Thorn Zimo, under the command of Deng Ai, changed into Han army clothes and blocked the north, east and west gates of Lan City. Zhu Falan saw more than 100,000 horses besieging the city, and he was so frightened that he cowered in the city, only knowing that he ordered the soldiers to strictly guard the city. Guo Jia commanded the 130,000 Han army, and decided to eat the army of Manmbudieu first, 130,000 against 50,000, this battle was fought, and the grasp was not ordinary, but if Zhu Falan sent troops from the city and attacked on both sides, the outcome was still variable. Therefore, Guo Jia ordered Zhang Liao to lead 30,000 horses and ambush outside the south gate of Lan City, and once the city sent troops, they would attack it.

As a close general of Vesudeva I, Mangbuddieu has absolutely first-class ability, and the large military camp outside the south gate is extremely solid, between the various camps, there is a passage, which can rescue each other, the height of the walled wall is full of a zhang, and the mud is piled up behind the wall, in case the gunpowder explosion of the Han army and blows up the wall. A two-meter-wide passage was erected on the wall, which was convenient for the soldiers to stand on a high place, shoot arrows from a high position, and also facilitate the soldiers to come and go. Mangbudieu is full of confidence, if the army holds out for a period of time, and the emperor sends troops to help, the city of the Lan clan is the burial place of the Han army.

Guo Jia walked around the Dazhai of Mangbudieu, frowning secretly, this Guishuang general is not simple, not only the camp is in a good way, but also the advantages of the Han army are invisible. The earth piled up behind the wall was enough to resist the power of gunpowder explosions, and the Han army used to be invincible with gunpowder, so if they wanted to destroy this wall, it seemed that they had to find another way.
