(Thanks to Huan Bo and Muzi Tianbao for their support.) New 『 Δ 『 Pen Fun Δ Pavilion . )

Most of Usun's territory now belongs to Russia, stretching from the Tien Shan Mountains in the south to Lake Balkhash in the north. The Wusun people were oppressed by the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and continued to move westward, and the capital Chigu City was at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains. Relying on the Tianshan Mountains, the Wusun people escaped the scourge of extermination.

Budou received a report from Tanma that the caravan was walking more than 200 miles west of Gumo City. For Gumo's defenders, Budou drank it without giving a damn about it, and he could still pretend to hide in the city, and if he fought in the field, it was not enough for the Wusun people to stuff their teeth. Budou drank out of Akatani Castle, led the men and horses to the front of the caravan, and set up a pocket formation, ready for a surprise attack.

The caravan was also an army, and the scouts sent out disappeared one after another, and the Six-Nation Coalition had a bad premonition, drove the camels, and turned around to the predetermined location. Budou heard that the caravan was turning, and without thinking much about it, he commanded the men and horses to chase after him. Seeing the smoke and dust billowing in the northwest, the coalition army knew that the Wusun people had been dispatched, and kept in mind the instructions of the lords, and whipped the war horses and drove the camels with a yellow smoke. Wusun is fast, and the striker bites the rear of the coalition army, and it looks like he is about to catch up.

When the Six-Nation Coalition came to the predetermined location, their eyes were full of yellow sand, and there was a shadow of the Han army. The coalition army is desperate in their hearts, and the Han army is too cunning, doesn't this sell all the coalition forces? Despair is despair, life matters, and I can't care about the goods, so let's run. More than 3,000 camels huddled together and ran in a mess.

Seeing that the caravan did not want goods and goods, and only cared about fleeing for its life, Budou was in the middle of it, and 50,000 people scattered, gathered the camels, and prepared to gather together, and then drove home. How could the frightened camels be so obedient, and it took a long day of strength for the men and horses to drink, and they were all tired and panting like oxen, so that they could get more than 3,000 camels together.

Cloth Dou drank and gasped, and commanded his men and horses to prepare to retreat to Akiti Castle. Drums beat loudly in the field, flags were raised behind countless sand dunes, and teams of men and horses came out from all directions. It turned out that the Han soldiers and horses were distributed next to the dunes, covering their bodies with earthy yellow cloaks, and the war horses were lying on the ground, and they had already prepared camouflage, and the knives and guns were directly buried in yellow sand.

Eighty thousand cavalry mounted their horses together to the beat of drums and slaughtered the Wusun people. When the coalition soldiers heard the drums, they slowed down, turned around and saw that the Han cavalry had been mixed with the Wusun men and horses, and the smoke and dust in the sky covered the earth, and it was impossible to distinguish the queue.

Zhao Yun, Ma, and Yan Xing each led the elite cavalry, interspersed back and forth on the battlefield, and specifically attacked the brave Wusun people. Budou has been drinking across the Western Regions for many years, and he has never seen such a strong army as the Han army, and his first instinct is that the six countries of the Western Regions have invited helpers, because there are no 80,000 soldiers from the six countries; It's just that the opponent's combat strength is strong, where will it be the army? Budou looked at the other party's fluttering flags, although he didn't know Chinese characters, but the square-shaped fonts were particularly eye-catching on the flying flags, and he immediately realized that this was the army of Han people. The Han army killed the Xianbei people on the prairie and almost extinct them, Budou drank it for a long time, thinking that the Xianbei cavalry had repeatedly forced the Wusun people to move west, wouldn't the Han army be more terrible than the Xianbei people? Budou drank a drum in his heart, and commanded the men and horses to retreat.

Liu Ye accompanied the kings of the six countries to stand on a sand dune, talking and laughing freely pointing to the battlefield. The kings of the six countries couldn't help but be shocked when they saw that the Han army had killed the Wusun people, like chopping melons and vegetables, and the sharp saber could cut off the neck of the war horse with one sword. The three generals on the battlefield are particularly eye-catching, each with a spear, and the enemy does not have a general. When the soldiers of the Six Kingdoms saw their king, they gathered together.

In less than an hour of the battle, Wusun's men and horses lost more than 10,000 people. Knowing that it was not an opponent, Budou sounded the horn of retreat, and the Wusun people began to slowly retreat.

When Zhao Yun saw it, he led a team of men and horses to go around, and the two armies widened the distance, stepped on the crossbow, and the javelin began to might, blocking the Wusun people back into the battle circle. Liu Ye saw it and said to the kings: "If you want to completely annihilate the Wusun people, the lords of the country, please order your own men and horses to bypass the battlefield and intercept and kill them in front to prevent them from escaping." ”

When the kings saw this, they already knew that the battle was won and undefeated, and they were happy to fight a good battle, and when they picked up a few dried fish, they personally led the troops, bypassing the battlefield far away, blocking the retreat of the Wusun people.

Ma saw the strength of Zhao Yun on the battlefield, and his competitive heart suddenly rose. Swing your spear and sweep back and forth in the formation with your own soldiers. Where have the Wusun people seen the power of Jinma? I was scared of being killed by a horse, and when I saw the horse with white horse and white armor, I was busy dodging. The horse was overjoyed, and said in his heart that you have well hidden, and you have taken off your great bow, and drawn it full, and one arrow at a time, and never missed. The soldiers did the same, and a rain of arrows flew from time to time on the chaotic battlefield.

Yan Xing saw the war horse divine horse under Budou's crotch, and knew that it must be Dawan BMW, so he immediately shouted and killed Budou. Unexpectedly, the horse also took a fancy to the war horse that was drunk in the cloth pocket, and he also coveted it. Budou was unlucky, and the two generals came down against him and rushed up to meet him. Yan Xing arrived earlier than the horse, and the spear stabbed out, and the cloth pocket hurriedly caught it with a scimitar. Yan Xing's shot was as fast as a shot, killing Budou in a hurry, and the horse arrived, and a shot pierced Budou's back, picking off the horse. The war horse god horse who drank in the cloth pocket is now away from the owner on his back, and he runs more easily. When Ma and Yan Xing saw it, they came to grab the war horse.

Liu Ye saw this scene at a high place, and couldn't help but be furious, as a general, so disregarding the overall situation, not commanding men and horses to fight, he actually quarreled over a war horse, ordered his own soldiers, passed on his own orders, and ordered the two to give up the dispute and go all out against the enemy.

In the final analysis, Ma and Yan Xing are still young, and their competitiveness is making trouble. The two of them were stopped by Liu Ye's personal soldiers and conveyed Liu Ye's words, the two broke out in a cold sweat, glanced at each other, and hurriedly led the men and horses to join the battle group.

Budou shouted and mourned, and the Wusun people had no commander-in-chief, and they fought separately under the leadership of their respective leaders, and their morale was even lower. The Wusun people saw that their men were getting fewer and fewer, and they rushed out desperately to kill.

Liu Ye saw that there were less than 20,000 Wusun men, so he ordered half of them to be released, and then surrounded and strangled the remaining men. Now that the Six-Nation Coalition is here, we have to let them participate.

Zhao Yun faithfully carried out the order and let go of a gap, and the Wusun people saw it and rushed out desperately. Nearly halfway through, the Han cavalry intervened and cut it in two.

When the Six-Nation Coalition saw the Wusun people, they immediately greeted them. Qiuzi was the most oppressed by Wusun, and Bai Li led the army to rush ahead. The Wusun people fought fiercely for a long time, and they were already tired, and they saw the familiar Qiuzi people in front of them, and a group of defeated soldiers were just defeated, boosting morale, and screaming and killing into the Qiuzi people's formation.

The coalition army is 30,000, and it has an absolute advantage in numbers. The Western Regions have been fighting endlessly for many years, and the soldiers are all battle-hardened, and when they saw the Wusun people, they all held the mood of revenge and surrounded the Wusun people.

At sunset, the battle ended, and the battlefield was counted, and the Wusun people fled only in the thousands, and tens of thousands of war horses were captured. Liu Ye saw that the soldiers were tired, so he had to rest on the spot.

Qiang Momi received the report of the defeated soldiers, Teng stood up and shouted: "Are you sure it's the Han army? ”

The defeated army said: "It's true, if it weren't for the Han army, with the strength of my army, how could I have suffered a fiasco? ”

The logistics of the coalition army were still good, the beef and mutton were delivered like flowing water, and the soldiers had a full meal, crowded in the desert, and fell asleep one after another.

Bai Li saw it and said to Liu Ye: "Long history, this move must not be. In the middle of the night, the desert night wind broke into the bones, and the soldiers had to fall ill. ”

Liu Ye also knows that the temperature difference between day and night in the desert is large, but in the vast desert, how to set up camp? So he humbly asked, "What is the king's plan?" ”

"You can put the camel on the periphery to ward off the cold," said Bailey. If the soldiers have tents, pitch them; If not, close to the war horse, gather into a group, warm each other, and be safe. ”

Liu Ye saw that what Bai Li said was reasonable, and hurriedly asked people to wake up the soldiers and resettle.

Three days later, the army advanced and came to the outside of Akatani Castle. Qiang Momi did not believe in the combat power of the Han army, as described by the defeated pawn, and decided to take advantage of the Han army's initial arrival and unstable foothold to launch a sneak attack.

Liu Ye saw that after Chigu City, the situation was dangerous, and he felt that it was not easy to attack. On the Tianshan Mountain, there are many big trees, and it was decided to make stone-throwing trucks and wooden buildings to attack the city. It's just that all the cavalry who came, and there were no craftsmen with the army, so they had to ask the coalition army for help.

Of the six countries, only Kamezi and Shule were the closest to Akaya Castle, and the two countries sent soldiers back to their lands to gather craftsmen. This back and forth will definitely consume time, Liu Ye decided to set up camp first, besiege Chigu City, and make long-term preparations.

Qiang Momi sent spies to reconnoiter the movements of the Han army and the coalition forces. The spy reported: The Han army went up the mountain to cut down trees, but the coalition army was scattered, singing and dancing.

When Qiang Mo heard it, the coalition forces were unprepared, so eat persimmons and pick soft ones. It was decided to strike at the coalition forces first.

Liu Ye saw that the coalition army was unprepared, and only knew how to play, and remembered that the Baili people were good, so he said to him: "The coalition army does not set up camps, if the enemy sneaks up, it will inevitably be defeated, and the lord of the country still has to let people prepare early." ”

Seeing that what Liu Ye said was reasonable, Bai Li hurriedly asked the soldiers to cut down the trees and roughly erected a wooden fence.

That night, Qiang Momi personally led an army of 30,000 and came out of the city. Qiang Momi ordered the army to act carefully and not to make too much noise. The allied soldiers sang and danced, and they had already fallen asleep, and the soldiers on duty at night leaned against the campfire, also drowsy.

Liu Ye heard that the Wusun people were coming to steal the camp, and hurriedly ordered the guards to call Zhao Yun, Ma, and Yan Xing. The soldier in charge of the lookout went to the big tent and said, "The moon is dark, and the Wusun people seem to have gone to the camp of the Western Regions Alliance. ”

Liu Ye frowned, suddenly came up with an idea, and said to the guards: "Beat the war drums, let the coalition forces know, and prepare to fight." Zilong ordered 5,000 men and horses to change into Wusun battle armor; Yan Xing, go to the Baili camp and find a few soldiers who can speak Wusun dialect, I will be of great use. ”
