There were many Yanqi people, Cheshi people, and other small people in the Western Regions in the Gaochang garrison.

With such a mixed army, those generals of the Che Division, Yan Qi, have no loyalty, or face Ye Long, who wants to restore the country, they have no combat power, and it has already taken Du Yuan a lot of effort to maintain these people from rebelling.

Du Yuan wanted to avenge his father Dewey, but he also knew that the army under his command could not fight against the army outside.

This also caused a scene where the side with fewer troops attacked the side with more troops, and still had a complete advantage, Du Yuan did his best to control the army, not to mention going out to besiege Ye Long, if it weren't for the fact that the walls of Gaochang were higher than the walls of other countries in the Western Regions, they would have been broken a long time ago.

But even so, Ye Long continued to attack outside, and the momentum was monstrous, the army in the city was panicked, and the soldiers' rebellion became more and more serious, even if Gaochang still had many troops, he would not be able to hold it.

"I want to see how long Du Yuan can last." Ye Long looked at the Gaochang city wall and snorted coldly: "When Du Yuan is pacified, we will take the army to the south and attack the lone Han army with Shache, I see that Liu Bi has no supplies, how to fight, and as soon as he dies, the influence of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions will melt away, I think Liu Zhang, the king of Shu, should fight in the country with peace of mind." ”

Ye Long knew very well in his heart that his rebellion this time was not only to take down a Wuji Lieutenant Department, but also a serious blow to the prestige of the Han army, after this battle, the prestige of the Han army in the Western Regions will fall to the bottom, and Shache will inevitably rise.

And if he controls such a large territory, he must be a prominent figure for a while, and his power is not comparable to that of a small chariot division and military division at the beginning.

"Your Majesty, is it true that Liu Bi will not come back for help?" One of the generals hesitated but asked. People from Yanqi Cheshi and other countries can be said to be too jealous of Liu Zhang's army.

The First World War wiped out 10,000 chariot divisions. The First World War wiped out 20,000 Yanqi. The First World War captured members of the Yanqi royal family, and his 10,000 people suffered negligible losses, how could such a combat power not make those who were hostile to it tremble.

Don't look at the current situation of Ye Long leading the rebels, but the generals under his command are worried about the return of the Sichuan army, they are not afraid of the 10,000 people in Gaochangjian City, they are only afraid of the people of the Sichuan army, even if it is a thousand, they are also afraid. In the two battles with Cheshi and Yanqi, the Sichuan army has left a shadow in the hearts of these people.

Ye Long was a little dissatisfied with the general's timidity, but Ye Long knew that this was not the time to play the temper of the commander, so he explained: "Don't worry, general, this king has already calculated the time when he decided to rebel against the Han Dynasty.

At this time, I am afraid that the Han army has just arrived at the end of the border, and after a long journey, his soldiers have already been physically exhausted, and I think it will be difficult to fight in place, let alone return to the Cheshi. Even if you return to the driver, it is a bunch of dead dogs waiting to be slaughtered. ”

"Yes. That is, Your Majesty is right. The alien disciple said loudly, saying so loudly, the first is to stammer Ye Long, the second is to comfort the other generals, and the third is to comfort himself, in fact, the alien disciple is not afraid in his heart.

When he was asked to lead the troops, he was afraid that he would not dare to be the enemy of the Sichuan army, and it was the same at this time.

It's just because Ye Long told him that he killed Xi Feng, and the remnants of the Cheshi royal family would not let him go, his days were not sent, plus Ye Long carefully analyzed the battle situation for him, and the rebellion was nine out of ten, and it was impossible for the Sichuan army to come back to help, and the stranger Gao Cai followed Ye Long to rebel.

"Okay, continue to attack, and try to take Gaochang before the evening comes." Ye Long gave the order in a deep voice and returned to the rear to rest, and the generals organized an attack again.

The rebels failed to capture Gaochang before the arrival of the evening, but Gaochang only had its last breath left, and after five days of attack, the fighting spirit of the army in Gaochang City was close to zero, and a large number of soldiers had the idea of fleeing.

When night came, Du Yuan and Huan Meng sat opposite each other, both of them were silent, and the rest of the generals also stood silently, occasionally letting out a sigh.

At this time, a Han general walked in and said to Du Yuan: "Oh no, General, Achini led hundreds of people down the wall and surrendered to the enemy, and the rest of the enemy did not know how many." ”

"Got it." Du Yuan nodded, his expression did not fluctuate much, because he was already numb, fighting against Ye Long during the day, some soldiers should openly surrender to the enemy, let alone this boundless night.

At this time, Huan Meng said: "General Chen, take care of the city wall, but the focus is on the city gate, all of which are defended by the Han army in Gaochang, and suspicious people must not be allowed to approach, otherwise the army in the city and Ye Longli should be combined, and the consequences will be unimaginable." ”

"Yes."

After the general left, Huan Meng said to Du Yuan: "General Du, we should think about retreating, what should we do after the city is destroyed?" Maybe General Du Yuan wants to avenge his father and is reluctant to evacuate Gaochang, but ......"

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Du Yuan knows the general situation." Du Yuan waved his hand at Huanmeng, and said in a deep voice: "Although I really want to avenge my father, but I know the severity, if I can take the people and the army in the city to turn the crisis into safety, Du Yuan will definitely be willing to do it, but where can we go now?" ”

"Over the Tianshan Mountains." Huan Meng said without hesitation, obviously she had been preparing like this, "I think it is impossible for General Liu Bi to come back to help, after all, no matter how strong the army is, it can't trek back and forth over such a long distance, our army has no will to fight, and if it can't defeat Ye Long's rebels, Gaochang will definitely be broken."

Our current retreat can only be to cross the Tianshan Mountains, enter the Tianshan Metropolitan Protectorate, and tell General Du the truth, I am in a difficult situation in the southeast veins of the Tianshan Mountains at the east, and I am worried about the death of the country at any time, so I am ready to cross the Tianshan Mountains at any time, migrate to the country, and explore many roads to the north in the Tianshan Mountains.

The reason why I organized the people of Dongye to migrate to Gaochang this time, instead of directly crossing the Tianshan Mountains, was because General Liu Bi had the grace to save the country from Dongye, so I Huanmeng and the people of Dongye were unwilling to leave alone, and were willing to live and die with the Wuji Lieutenant Department established by the Han Dynasty.

But now we can't hold it, we have to retreat, General Du Yuan, let's retreat at night, so that we can also retain some strength, and when the Han army attacks back, we still have a time to come back. ”

Du Yuan was silent, and after a long time, he said firmly: "No, we can't withdraw." ”

"Why?" Huan Meng asked with a frown, her delicate brow filled with heavy anxiety.

"What about the people of Gaochang? What shall you do to the people of the night? Most of the people in Gaochang are Han Chinese, and Ye Long will not let go of these Han people, because the Cheshi people under him, as well as the remnants of the Cheshi royal family, will not let go, and the rebels will enter the city, and the people of Gaochang will face a catastrophe.

There are also you Dongye people, it has not been a day or two since you had a bad relationship with the Che Division, this time General Liu Bi came, you offended Ye Long to death, the prince died in your hands, the Che Shi was captured by you, and you also helped General Liu attack the Yanqi army.

You have made a lot of enmities, in order to gain the support of Junxin and other chariot nobles and Yanqi nobles, Ye Long not only wants to kill the Gaochang Han people, but also the Dongye people, is Her Majesty at ease? ”

"But let's sit back and wait, or only all of them are destroyed, it's better to retreat now, although we can't all of them, but we can always withdraw some of them, right? I Huanmeng told the general that as long as I still have a man and a woman in the east night, the east night will not lose the country. ”

"Alright, Her Majesty will organize them to leave." Du Yuan said.

The relaxed look on Huanmeng's face flashed, looking at Du Yuan's expression, with her cleverness, she immediately understood what Du Yuan meant, and asked with a solemn eyebrow: "The general is not leaving?" ”

"I can't go, and all the Han troops in Gaochang can't go." Du Yuan said firmly.

"Why?"

"There's no why." Du Yuan thought of the black wood forest, which Liu Zhang specially asked to take care of, he was by Liu Zhang's side at that time, and he could fully understand Liu Zhang's attention to that black wood forest.

It has even surpassed the Captain Department of Wuji.

Although Du Yuan didn't know why Liu Zhang was so rare these black trees, Liu Zhang didn't seem to be a plaything, on the contrary, he knew how to take matters and was dedicated to government affairs, so the black wood forest that Liu Zhang valued was easy for Du Yuan to think that it must have a very important role for the Han.

In Du Yuan's opinion, Liu Zhang handed over such an important piece of black wood forest to him Gaochang for protection, then he Gaochang must be responsible, even if his father died, he had to replace his father to protect this black wood forest.

If all of them were to cross the Tianshan Mountains and withdraw, the warning traces outside the black wood forest would soon be discovered by Ye Long, with Ye Long's cleverness, how could he not have thought that these black wood forests would be beneficial to the big man, and they would definitely destroy or blackmail the big man.

Then he is a sinner of the Great Han.

Therefore, unless he dies, Du Yuan will never leave Gaochang.

"General Du Yuan." Huan Meng looked at Du Yuan, was silent for a long time, knowing that it was impossible for him to persuade Du Yuan, and finally said: "Okay, let the people of Gaochang and my people of Dongye withdraw on their own, and I am willing to lead the warriors of Dongye to live and die with the Han army of Gaochang." ”

"Her Majesty wants to stay too?" Du Yuan glanced at Huanmeng in surprise: "Now that Yanqi, Cheshi, and all the small countries have either rebelled or deviated from Germany, why is Her Majesty still loyal to the big man?" ”

"Isn't my sister still in Ye Long's hands?" Huan Meng replied casually, but his heart was a little complicated, his sister was in Ye Long's hands, but if he chose Dongye and his sister, as the queen, Huan Meng would definitely choose the former, it stands to reason that he should leave now, but why did he not have the idea of leaving at all?

The sky was bright, a long night, and on this night, a large number of soldiers and generals defected to Ye Long, overnight, Ye Long's army swelled to more than 10,000 people, and the army in Gaochang City was less than 7,000, and many of them were not determined.

There was already a huge difference in morale, but now that the number of people has also reversed, Huan Meng and Du Yuan both know that Gao Chang's defense will definitely not last for half a day.

"Your Majesty Huanmeng, if you kill Du Yuan and surrender to Kaicheng, I, Ye Long, will guarantee your life and make you the princess of the Cheshi, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth." (To be continued......)
