Tagina suddenly asked, "If I can convince my father to stop being an enemy of the Great Han, then am I considered a hero of the Great Han?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I guess it can be counted." Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "If you want to go back to Susa, the road is not smooth, I'll give you a ride." It's just that your father has already married you to Caracalla, will he still agree? ”

Tagina bit her lip and said, "Give it a try." You can send me to the edge of the concession, and I'll find a way to go back myself. ”

In fact, Tagina knew in her heart that there was little hope of convincing Ardaban. Ardaban was so fond of her that he eventually decided to marry her to Caracalla, and there must have been some kind of deal in it. Between the throne and his daughter, Ardaban still chose the throne, and now it is not easy to let him change his ways. But if he can persuade Aldaban to cooperate with Dahan, he can not only avoid the dilemma of being forced to marry Caracalla, but also take the opportunity to get closer to Liu Yu. Although it was a bit risky to go back this time, weighing the pros and cons, Tagina felt that she should give it a try. However, she didn't want Liu Yu to be in danger with her, so she only hoped that he could send her to the concession.

Liu Yu's mind is far less delicate, where do you know Tagina's thoughts. He looked up at the east, the sun had already risen above the horizon, he couldn't help but stand up, moved his limbs, lifted Fang Tian's halberd, and said, "Don't think so far, take advantage of the dawn, hurry up." The horses are gone, and there's still a long way to go. ”

Just as they were fighting with the wolves, a fierce battle had just ended outside Guishan City. This former capital of Dawan County, now the county seat of Dawan County has once again become the focus of the war.

After determining that the main force of the Han army had entered the territory of Daqin, the king of Kushan, Hu Bi Sejia, immediately led an army of 120,000 to break into Dawan in one fell swoop. The total army of Kushan was only 150,000 people, and the Hubi Sega almost poured out the whole army, and they came with the intention of winning it.

The Han court originally had 20,000 garrisons in Dawan, all of which were from the Western Regions Army, except for Guishan City, which had 5,000 people, and the rest of the men and horses were scattered throughout Dawan. Of course, their main task was to secure the line of communication from the Uzberi fortress to Kangju.

When the Kushan army came over, although the scattered Han troops put up a desperate resistance, they were outnumbered after all, and this extremely important communication line was finally cut off by the Kushan people. In addition to more than 5,000 people who withdrew to Guishan City, nearly 10,000 soldiers have been buried in a foreign land since then. The Kushan army also suffered heavy losses, with more than 20,000 casualties. Hu Bi Sejia didn't care about the life and death of these soldiers at all, and with a wave of his horsewhip, he led an army of 100,000 to Guishan City.

It was Wu Yi, the general under Liu Yan in the past, who guarded Guishan City, and in the face of the overwhelming Guishan army, he chose the strategy of sticking to and waiting for reinforcements.

This place is different from the Han mainland, Dawan has just been included in the territory of the Han Dynasty, and the people's hearts have not yet been fully annexed. When the Kushan army came, the Dawan prisoners of war who built the road immediately dispersed is the best proof of this.

Wu Yi did not dare to recruit the people of Guishan City to help defend the city, so he had to send people to Kangju for help on the one hand, and divide the soldiers into three groups, one group at the head of the city to defend the enemy, one group responsible for transporting materials to defend the city, and one group to rest and serve as a reserve. These three groups of soldiers rotate every hour to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness.

Although Hu Bi Sejia is old, but the color heart does not die, his wish is to continue to move west to annex Kangju after the capture of Dawan, and bring the beautiful queen mother of Kangju into the harem. Seeing that the march was only one day's work, Dawan was left with the empty city of Guishan, Hu Bi Sejia couldn't help but be proud, as if he had returned to twenty years ago, and pointed at the head of the city with a horsewhip, and said loudly: "Those who enter the city first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold and a first-class marquis!" After the city was broken, the army was divided into three days! ”

After the Han army conquered Dawan, in addition to confiscating the property of the nobles, it did not cause much damage, and the common people got a lot of land, coupled with the development of commerce and trade, life became richer. As the county town of Dawan, Guishan is becoming more and more prosperous. After three days of arson, how many things do you have to rob! The Guishan soldiers looked at the Guishan City in front of them, as if they saw countless gold, silver, jewelry, and beautiful women waving to them, and couldn't help cheering in unison, shouting, "Three days of arson!" Three days of arson! It rushed towards Guishan City like a tide.

Wu Yi didn't know if he could hold out until the reinforcements arrived, so he gave the order to fight to the death. In fact, there is no need for him to say that in the face of an enemy ten times their size, the soldiers have long been determined to die.

Arrows and arrows rained down on the city, and many Kushan soldiers were shot into hedgehogs before they could reach the city walls. Those who finally rushed to the city were often even more miserable, and pots of hot gold juice were poured on their heads, and the skin and flesh of the places that were poured out suddenly opened and the flesh was opened, and a howl of pain was released. The gold juice was poisonous, and Guishan lacked the effective medical methods of the Han army, so even if he didn't die on the spot, few people could stand it.

However, the conditions offered by Hubi Sejia were too tempting, and the Kushan soldiers fell one after another, but they still flocked to Guishan City.

Although Guishan City is the county seat of Dawan, it is not the focus of the Han army's defense. The focus of the Han army's defense was on the border passes at the junction of Kangju and Dawan, as well as the fortresses of Uzberi and Tulugert, so there were not many things prepared in the city to defend the city. After more than an hour, there were fewer and fewer arrows in the city, the gold juice did not have time to boil, and the rolling logs and stones were all gone.

Despite the heavy casualties of the Kushan army and the dense pile of corpses under the city, the Kushan soldiers still risked their lives to enter the city under the temptation of "three days of arson". As the intensity of the attack at the head of the city decreased, dozens of Kushan soldiers finally rushed to the head of the city.

However, the blades of the Han soldiers were just as sharp, and after a hand-to-hand fight, dozens of Kushan soldiers fell one after another, and their bodies were immediately used as rolling stones to knock down the city walls.

However, these dozens of soldiers who climbed to the top of the city greatly boosted the morale of the Kushan army, and more people poured over, some of whom even abandoned their shields for convenience. The city of Guishan is crumbling.

Suddenly, there was an uproar in the city, and many people rushed to the four gates.

Wu Yi was shocked. No matter how powerful the Kushan army was, no matter how short the materials to defend the city were, he was confident that he would hold on for two days and wait for reinforcements from other places. Because until now, the casualties of the defenders have not exceeded 100, and the main force still exists. However, if the people of Dawan take the opportunity to rebel at this time, Guishan City will not be able to hold it anyway. Wu Yi secretly sent an order to the soldiers to prepare for the evacuation of Guishan. Preserving strength and avoiding unnecessary sacrifices is also a countermeasure for Liu Xin when he usually teaches them to be outnumbered.

The people had come to the city and shouted in unison: "We want to see the general!" ”

Wu Yi went down to the city with his sword and shouted, "What do you want? ”

An old man stepped forward, bowed and saluted, "General don't misunderstand." When the Han army entered the city, it did not commit any offense with Minqiu. Now the enemy army outside the city claims to be in the army for three days, if the city is broken, we will inevitably die left and right, it is better to fight, please ask the general to answer! ”

The people's hearts are available, Wu Yi is very relieved, and arched his hand and said: "Thank you folks, but let Wu still have a breath of air, and never let the enemy set foot on the city!" It's just that there is a lack of arrows in the city, so what can I do about it? ”

The old man frowned and said, "Arrows are easy to handle, and the people in the city have many hunting bows, which can still be used." The only way to demolish the houses is to demolish the stones, but most of the low-rise huts in the city are not enough. ”

Wake up the person in his dream with a word, Wu Yi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he said loudly: "Quick, go and demolish the old palace and transport all the stones and wood to the city!" ”

The royal palace is the most magnificent building in Guishan City, and I don't know how many large wooden boulders were spent. Now that Dawan has died, the palace is naturally abandoned, and someone once suggested that this place be converted into Liu Xin's palace, which was categorically vetoed by Liu Xin. In order to avoid secrecy, no official dared to use this place as a mansion, and the huge palace was always empty. At the critical juncture, Wu Yi did not have time to ask for instructions, and ordered the demolition of the palace on his own initiative, in fact, he was secretly ready to be punished.

The problem of the shortage of arrows and stones was solved, and with the help of the people in the city, the soldiers who were originally responsible for transporting supplies were also liberated and put into the battle to defend the city.

Hubishega shouted, "Charge me!" Rush me! The city is making its last struggle, and they won't be able to hold out for long! ”

His men had the same idea as he did, hoping that the arrows, logs, and stones they would shoot in the city would be the last, and then they would be able to storm the city, feast on the beauties of the city, and plunder the city's goods.

Nine times out of ten, they attacked until late at night, and the arrows in the city did not decrease. If you look closely, you will find that many of the rolling logs and stones thrown down from the castle are carved with exquisite patterns.

After four or five hours of fighting, Guishan City was still standing, and the Guishan army had already suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the rest of the people were also exhausted, and the offensive was not as fierce as it was at the beginning. Annoyed and angry, Hubiseka swung his whip and struck the retreating soldiers, forcing them to continue their charge.

In fact, the soldiers and civilians at the head of the city were also tired, but fortunately, Wu Yi implemented a rotation system, so that everyone could get a proper rest, so that they always maintained a strong combat effectiveness. However, if they continue to storm at the cost of their lives, like the Hubi Sega, I am afraid that in half a day, they will finally have to ascend to the top of the city.

At this time, the palace had already been almost demolished, and the people had already begun to demolish the inner walls of Guishan City. In other words, as long as Guishan's army broke through the outer city, Guishan City would face a situation where there was no danger to defend. At that time, even if the Han army is brave, the people in the city will inevitably suffer the fate of slaughter.
