The situation is not optimistic, Wu Yi quietly called two henchmen and lieutenants, and asked them to select a thousand elite soldiers each, once the city is broken, no matter what, they must fight a bloody way to protect the people in the city and retreat to Kangju.

Over the years, with Liu Xin's repeated indoctrination, the idea that the people are greater than the sky has gradually been accepted by civil and military officials. The people of Guishan City were willing to take the initiative to help the Han army defend the city, which showed that they had recognized their status as subjects of the Han Dynasty, and it was more important to get the support of these people than to keep a city. Wu Yi already planned to live and die with Guishan City, in order to thank Liu Xin for his kindness, but he still wanted to keep these people.

Suddenly, there were shouts of killing outside the city, and there were cheers on the city. A soldier rushed over and shouted: "General, reinforcements have arrived!" ”

Wu Yi was overjoyed, climbed to the top of the city in three steps and two steps, only to see the Guishan army besieging the city being defeated and retreating, and a group of men and horses in the south and north of the city swept in, playing the banner of the Han Dynasty, but the clothes and armor were different from those they were wearing, and it was the 30,000 old army led by Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers.

Don't look at these old soldiers are all foot soldiers, and they are all veteran oil, but the critical moment is really unambiguous. They marched overnight, walked more than 200 miles with a pair of footboards, and threw themselves into battle without resting.

When he was recruiting the old army, Liu Xin set a condition that he must really go to the battlefield. Not only have these people been on the battlefield, many have also participated in many battles. In terms of fighting spirit, they are far inferior to the regular army of the Han army, and in terms of combat experience, they do not lose much. It may not be possible to let them fight a tough battle, but when it comes to fighting a good fight, they are more active than anyone else.

Now it's a tailwind. After a day of fierce fighting in the middle of the night, the Kushan army was exhausted, and it was only because of the coercion and temptation of the Hubi Sega that they had been holding on. The sudden appearance of reinforcements from the Han army became the last straw that broke the camel's back, and the Kushan army was suddenly crushed at the first touch, and Hu Bi Sejia could not restrain it, and was carried by the rout army and fled to the southeast.

How could Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers let go of this great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, each holding a knife and a gun, waving his army to cover up and kill from behind, and chased until dawn, which was not far from the border of Guishan. At this time, the old army's sloppy discipline was committed again, and the ranks were sparse and dragged for twenty or thirty miles.

However, it is said that the eldest son of Hubi Sega, Vesudeva, was ordered by his father to guard the frontier, and he knew the strength of the Han army and had always opposed intervening in the war between Qin and Han, but Hu Biseka refused to listen to his opinion. Vesudeva was concerned about the battle ahead, and ordered his soldiers not to take off their armor and horses, and to wait for them, and at the same time sent a large number of scouts and cavalry deep into the territory of Dawan to keep abreast of the battle situation there.

When the news of Huvisega's defeat at the city of Guishan came, Vesudeva hurriedly gathered 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet him. When he didn't travel more than ten miles, he was encountering the rout of Hubi Sega. Vesudeva shouted, "Father, go away! Here's it to the kids! ”

Relieved to be rescued, Hubiseka beat his horse and walked around the formation. Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan chased all the way, but were stopped by Vesudeva. Seeing that he had escaped from the King of Kushan, Xiahou was furious, and waved his spear behind him, shouting, "Kill!" ”

After this sound of drinking, Xiahoudun found that there was no movement behind him, he turned his head to see that there were only a few dozen horsemen left closely following, and all of them hesitated, and the rest of the old army soldiers did not know where they had fallen.

Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xiahou Yuan hurriedly said, "Brother, withdraw!" ”

Xiahoudun took off his helmet violently, slammed it on the ground, and said sharply: "If it weren't for Your Majesty's kindness, you and I would have been in different places a long time ago, and today we should repay each other, so why spare my life, if there is someone who retreats again, behead!" ”

After speaking, Xiahou urged the war horse and rushed over with a spear. Xiahou Yuan gritted his teeth, and also brandished a big knife and smashed into the formation of Vesudeva. The dozens of cavalry of the old army who followed them refused to move forward, and turned around twice in place, and then dispersed in a hurry.

Seeing that only the two of them were coming, Vesudeva couldn't help but shout loudly, and said in a loud voice: "Quick, surround them and capture them alive!" ”

The Guishan reinforcements shouted, swarmed up, and surrounded Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan. Xiahoudun was not afraid, and Xiahou Yuan's two horses were side by side, a gun, a knife, flying up and down, rushing straight to the direction of Shuai Qi, where blood and flesh flew, and the Kushan army was killed and wounded.

Although Vesudeva saw that the two of them were brave, she was not worried that they would rush in front of her, and she wanted to face an army of 20,000 with two people, isn't that a fool's dream? Vesudeva was confident, waved her hand, and said, "Order, no one is allowed to cast cold arrows, and they must be caught alive!" Let's see how long they last! ”

Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were blood-stained and heavily armored, and they didn't know how many enemies they had killed, and their arms gradually became numb, and their marksmanship was scattered, but the enemies around them were killing more and more, and it was already difficult for them to move forward.

Suddenly the sound of horses' hooves sounded on the ground in the distance, and a dark shadow rose from the horizon. The shadows grew larger and larger, connecting in lines and clumps, kicking up large clouds of dust. The dust gradually approached, and finally revealed his true face of Lushan, which was a large group of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry, swept like autumn wind sweeping leaves.

Vesudeva's subordinates are all infantry troops, and in order to capture Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan alive, they are no longer in a position. Knowing that he couldn't resist, he waved his hand and ordered: "Withdraw the troops!" Shoot these two! ”

The Kushan soldiers retreated in a panic, and the archers were unprepared, so they hurriedly picked up their bows and arrows, and the feathered arrows were fired haphazardly at the Xiahoudun brothers who were surrounded in the middle. The two Xiahoudun brothers had actually been injured in many places, and they were about to be unable to hold on, and suddenly saw the enemy retreating, and their spirits were suddenly lifted, and they danced with knives and guns, although most of the arrows were thrown into the dust, but after all, they had no strength, and each was hit by a few arrows.

At this time, the cavalry of the Han army had already reached the front, and Vesudeva did not dare to stay for a long time, so he led the army to retreat. The cavalry of the Han army did not chase after them, and the first two lieutenants came to Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and said: "The end will be too late, so the two generals are frightened!" ”

Although Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were not generals of the regular army, they were wearing the clothes and armor of partial generals, so these two captains were very respectful to them. Xiahoudun arched his hand and was about to speak, when he opened his mouth and spurted out a mouthful of blood, shook and planted his horse.

Xiahou Yuan hurriedly got off the horse to help, his legs were weak, but he also fell. The army hurriedly rescued and slowly retreated to Guishan City. Seeing the orderly advance and retreat of the Han army from afar, Vesudeva did not dare to make a mistake, and did not mention it since returning to the border village.

This cavalry was well-trained, but it was from the Fourth Legion. When the news of the Wusun army's onslaught on the fortress of Uzberi reached Chang'an, Ma Yun convened the monarch and ministers to discuss and decided to send reinforcements. Now, the Seventh Army Corps in the Han Dynasty is stationed in Jiaozhou, and it does not dare to be easily mobilized, and the Han Navy has also followed Liu Xin's order and detoured to Daqin by sea, but I don't know when it will arrive, and the remaining four and fifth main army corps have to guard the huge territory, and they must not be moved lightly.

Someone proposed to recruit new soldiers to replace the two main army corps to guard the place, but the two army corps were transferred to the front line together, which was vetoed by Ma Yun. Untrained recruits are embarrassed to be of great use, and if the rear is unstable, the front cannot last long.

But it was Guo Jia who said: "Yu Niangniang, saving soldiers is like fighting fires, and the emphasis is on a fast word!" Thousands of miles from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, the infantry marched slowly, and cavalry was the main force. The minister thought that a cavalry could be transferred from the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps to aid the Western Regions. ”

Now that there was no strong enemy in the north of the Han Dynasty, and the pressure on the cavalry was not great, Ma Yun thought about it again and again, adopted Guo Jia's opinion, and transferred 10,000 cavalry from the Fourth and Fifth Army Corps to aid the fortresses of Uzberi and Tulugert respectively.

By the time these two cavalry arrived at the two fortresses, the Wusun army had already besieged the fortresses for two days and two nights. Liu Xin poured countless efforts into these two fortresses, and built these two fortresses into solid gold, which can be said to be the strongest castle in the world at that time. In addition to throwing countless corpses, the Wusun army did not take advantage of it, and even the head of the fortress could not be touched.

The fortress was already well fed, and reinforcements arrived, so Zhang Ren immediately made a bold decision to send this support soldier to rob the camp late at night.

The Wusun army attacked for two days and two nights, and was exhausted, and slept very deeply that night, but unexpectedly, the Han army was ranked, and the horses were wrapped in hooves, and they were suddenly killed. The Wusun army was caught off guard, defeated, killed and wounded, discarded countless heavy grain and grass, and the siege of the Uzberi fortress was relieved.

Although the Wusun army surrounded the two fortresses of Uzberi and Turugert, and the Kushan army cut off the road from the fortress to Kangju, the news from the front was still transmitted to Zhang Ren in time.

As the chief general guarding these two fortresses, Zhang Ren had the right to arbitrarily decide on the spot, and even the 20,000 cavalry newly sent from Chang'an were also dispatched by him. Zhang Ren succeeded in robbing the camp, but refused to give up, and immediately ordered the cavalry of the Fourth Army to attack Dawan to relieve the siege of Guishan. He also sent Wu Lan to lead 10,000 cavalry from the fortress of Uzberi into the territory of Wusun, and joined forces with the defenders of Turugert, so as to completely annihilate the Wusun army besieging the fortress of Turugert.

The cavalry of the Fourth Legion, which reinforced Dawan, fought all the way to the city of Guishan, only to know that Hu Bi Sejia had been defeated and retreated, and Wu Yi was worried that Xiahou Dun and Xiahou Yuan, who were chasing the defeated army, would lose, so he immediately asked this cavalry to go to support, and sure enough, he saved the lives of his two brothers.

As soon as the cavalry led by Wu Lan entered the territory of Wusun, they received the news that the Wusun army besieging Tulugert had retreated, so they stopped their troops and waited for further orders from Zhang Ren. Zhang Ren refused to withdraw his troops, and ordered Lei Tong to lead 10,000 cavalry out of the fortress of Tulugert and pursue Wu Lan's 10,000 cavalry separately, in order to annihilate the main force of Wusun in one fell swoop. Let Wusun, like Dawan, be completely incorporated into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and completely restore the scale of the Western Regions Protectorate in the past.

The war between Wusun and Guishan to cut off the back road of the Han army was like a farce, which was hurriedly staged but ended in a hurry. Just when the road to the West was reopened, a major event occurred in Hebei.
