Chapter 218: Dangerous City

Western Regions, the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains.

Zhang Jian led more than 100,000 coalition troops to be stationed here for more than a month. The situation in Wusun is already extremely critical, and there are rumors in the city-states of the Western Regions. Zhang Jian was under great pressure, but he did not dare to act rashly in the face of nearly 300,000 Dayue Clan's army. It's no wonder that he, although the hundreds of thousands of troops under Zhang Jian are quite a few, they are all newly trained Western Regions legions plus the armies of various city-states with uneven hearts, and their combat strength is really doubtful. Zhang Jiantun's troops at the southern foot of the Tianshan Mountains were mainly to deter the Dayue Clan in order to contain the opponent's energy and strength, but now it seems that this strategy has not had much effect. The Great Moon Clan's offensive against the Wusun King City became more and more fierce, and there was no sign of abating.

That night, Zhang Jian stood in front of the map as usual, looking at the topographic map of the Western Regions that he had read for an unknown number of times, thinking about countermeasures. A lieutenant general stood behind him.

Zhang Jian asked, "Does the general have an order to come?" ”

The lieutenant shook his head, "There is no news. ”

Zhang Jian frowned, "The situation in the Western Regions! It's worrying! I guess Wusun may not be able to hold on for long! ”

"My lord, I don't think we should be here anymore. The troops have done nothing here, they will only make the countries look down on us! It's better to take the initiative! ”

Zhang Jian turned around and sighed, "How can I not know the reason? It's just the situation of our army, how can it be possible to confront the 300,000 victorious division of the Otsuki clan? ”

The adjutant general stopped talking, and his face was distressed.

Suddenly, a herald barged in and reported in a panic: "Your Excellency! The city of Wusun has fallen! ”

Zhang Jian and the deputy general were shocked, and Zhang Jian said in disbelief: "How is this possible? No matter how Wusun still has 60,000 or 70,000 troops, how could he be breached so quickly? Is your message exact? The herald hurriedly said: "It's a report from the Wusun side, it should be true!" ”

Zhang Jian turned to look at the map, his brows furrowed. The adjutant general next to him pointed to the map and said urgently: "My lord, if Wusun collapses, our army will be alone!" The Great Moon Clan will definitely pounce on the whole army! We must retreat quickly, otherwise we will inevitably fall into a heavy siege, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

Zhang Jian frowned, turned around, and said urgently: "Order all the armies to retreat in the direction of Loulan immediately!" "No!" The lieutenant clenched his fists in promise.

Kill! Suddenly there was a fierce killing sound outside the tent. Zhang Jian and the deputy general were taken aback, and hurriedly ran out of the big tent, and saw that countless cavalry were rushing into the camp from the left side to kill their own soldiers.

"It's the light cavalry of the Otsuki clan!" The adjutant shouted.

Zhang Jian frowned, pulled out his saber and shouted: "The adjutant general listens to the order and immediately leads the army to counterattack!" The adjutant general made a promise, stepped on his horse, and led more than 10,000 soldiers of the Western Regions Legion of the Chinese Army to pounce on Xizhai! The cavalry of the Otsutsuki clan was attacked head-on, the front army was killed in chaos, the people turned on their horses, and the battle line was stable for a while!

However, at this moment, another shout came from the direction of Dongzhai, and a cavalry of tens of thousands of people from the Dayue clan quickly broke into Dongzhai. The allied forces in Dongzhai were crushed and fled for their lives, and the cavalry of the Dayue clan immediately rushed into the Chinese army, and the infantry army of the Western Regions Army resisted in peacetime, and the cavalry troops rushed to kill in the face of the superior enemy army, and the roar was earth-shattering, and the two sides fought to the death. You give me a knife, I'll give you a shot, the Han cavalry was stabbed off their horses by countless spears, and the Dayue cavalry was also turned on their backs! The battle is extremely tragic!

The Western Regions Legion gradually lost its support.

An officer covered in blood rushed back to Zhang Jian, clasped his fists and said, "General, we, we can't resist it!" There are just too many enemies! ”

Zhang Jian saw his soldiers fall on the battlefield one after another, saw the battle lines being broken through one after another, and knew that the general trend had gone, so he had to order a retreat.

The army immediately retreated to the southeast, and the cavalry of the Dayue clan pursued and killed without reluctance, and the army retreated while fighting. The Allied forces had completely collapsed, and the mountains were full of wild wolves, like lost dogs; The Western Regions Army was independently supported, and the retreating road was littered with corpses.

……

The Western Regions Army finally retreated to Loulan City, but there were only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses left, and as for the allies, no one saw them.

Tens of thousands of cavalry of the Dayue clan immediately surrounded Loulan. The countries of the Western Regions were shocked and began to make calculations in their hearts. The envoys sent by Zhang Jian came to various countries to ask for help, but the attitude of each country was ambiguous and did not send reinforcements.

……

Zhang Jian stood on top of the rammed earth wall, looking at the Dayue clan's camp that stretched for miles outside the city, his brows furrowed.

An officer rushed up and knelt down and said, "My lord, the envoys sent to various countries have returned. ”

Zhang Jian hurriedly turned around and asked with a look of hope, "How many reinforcements are coming?" The officer said with a look of resentment: "Not a single one!" ”

Zhang Jian was stunned, "What?" None of them? Anger welled up: "They won't send reinforcements? The officer said: "They use various structures to prevaricate, that is, they do not send reinforcements!" ”

Zhang Jian scolded angrily: "These wall grass! ”

The adjutant general said: "My lord, it is better to ask for others than for ourselves, we can only rely on ourselves!" ”

Zhang Jian said in a deep voice: "We must hold on until the general's reinforcements arrive!" The general will definitely come! The deputy general said urgently: "My lord, the small walls of this Lancheng are short, and we only have more than 10,000 remnants, and hundreds of thousands of troops will be killed in the near future, how can we resist it?" It's better to break through and retreat to Yumen Pass! ”

Zhang Jian said: "If this is the case, as long as we defeat the Great Moon Clan and recapture the Western Regions, it will be extremely difficult!" Loulan can't be lost! As long as there is still a soldier in the Western Regions Legion, it must defend Loulan to the death! ”

The adjutant general said urgently: "Your Excellency, ......"

Zhang Jian raised his hand to interrupt the adjutant general's words, and said resolutely: "I have made up my mind!" Pass my commands! ”

The adjutant general sighed, clenched his fists and said, "Since the Lord has made up his mind, the last general will obey the order!" Then he turned and went down the wall.

Zhang Jian looked at the sky in the distance and muttered, "General, come quickly!" My subordinates are afraid that they won't last long! ”

Later that day, the main force of more than 200,000 Dayue clans drove to Loulan City and surrounded Loulan. The remnants of the Western Regions Legion lost their last chance to break through.

In the evening, tens of thousands of cavalry of the Dayue clan came to the gate of the Western City, and then hundreds of captives of the Western Regions Legion were pushed to the front and forced to kneel. Zhang Jian and the deputy general got the news and hurried up to the city wall. Seeing the scene in front of them, both of them were shocked.

At this time, a general of the Dayue clan outside the city rode out and shouted: "The Han army in the city listens! Get out of the city early and surrender, or this will be your fate!" Do it! ”

The soldiers on the city wall saw that hundreds of Otsutsuki soldiers pulled out their scimitars at their waists and raised them high. Zhang Jian was shocked and roared angrily: "Bastard! ”

Hundreds of scimitars suddenly fell, a piece of blood surged, and hundreds of Han soldiers were in different places, and blood stained the yellow sand!
