As night fell, Yucheng City was heavily guarded.

Groups of Han troops quietly began to assemble, and these soldiers not only walked cautiously on their own, but even the war horses were wrapped in hooves and mouths.

In an attic in Yucheng City, the lights are bright here at the moment, and one person is working hard to write. This person is today's Taishi Ling Sima Qian, since he came to the Western Regions, his footprints have been all over the hometowns of the Western Regions, and later coincided with Bai Zheng's attack on Dawan, Sima Qian followed Bai Zheng all the way down and did not return to Chang'an.

As the Taishi of the Han Dynasty, he is very irresponsible, but as a historian who faithfully records historical facts, he has never been so responsible.

For the first time in the Western Regions, Sima Qian realized that the world was so big, and there were so many brilliant civilizations under this firmament. Now he doesn't want to go back to Chang'an, in Chang'an he can only record the history of the Han Dynasty, and here he can record the whole world, and even witness these brilliant civilizations with his own eyes.

Now is Sima Qian's best age, and he feels that this is also the best era in the past, an era in which countless civilizations gather and collide.

Although the convergence and collision of civilizations will inevitably lead to bloody wars, Sima Qian is a pure person, a person who exists purely to record historical facts. War is not what he cares about, nor is it something that he can control as a historian, he just wants to record these original records and leave them to future generations!

Yu Chengzhong's army waited silently, and it was not until the third watch that Yu Cheng's city gate was quietly opened, and then these horse-hooves wrapped in cloth cavalry quietly came out of Yu Cheng.

Although Huo Guang did not have a direct solution to the rest of the ironclad cavalry, he also discovered many weaknesses of these ironclad cavalry. For example, these cavalry can only exert their full strength if they charge in large groups and with the cooperation of the servant army. And these ironclad cavalry are also extremely demanding on the terrain, and their combat effectiveness is mainly reflected in the charge, if it comes to siege warfare, these ironclad cavalry are useless, which is why they can only besiege Yucheng and not attack the city.

Of course, Huo Guang felt that the biggest weakness of these cavalry was that the preparation time was too long, and what Huo Guang had to do was to attack the camp in the dead of night, when these ironclad cavalry took off their iron armor and slept.

Attacking enemy camps at night is a very simple and ancient strategy, but sometimes these tactics are so simple and effective. Now that the rest army and the Dawan army have besieged Yucheng for half a month, after the Han army has been defeated repeatedly, the rest of the Dawan coalition army has long been complacent, and the defense of the Han army is also the most lax time at this time.

And I don't know what the commanders of Anxi and Dawan think, they actually directly placed the camp in a place that was only five miles away from Yucheng. At this distance, the two armies could see each other almost casually, although it brought a lot of pressure to Yu Cheng, but at the same time, the distance between the two armies was shortened, and a charge at the speed of cavalry could quickly reach the opponent's range.

Dawan has 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers, and there are 40,000 Dawan troops besieging Yucheng this time, and its commander is the first fierce general of Dawan. However, since the king of Dawan surrendered to rest and became a subordinate state of rest, the command of the coalition army besieging Yucheng this time was actually in the hands of those resting nobles.

Although the Han army has been pressed and beaten for half a month, but except for the charge of the rest ironclad cavalry, which can cause effective casualties to the Han army, the Han army still has an advantage in other aspects, and whether it is the Dawan army or the rest army, they are not good at siege, so if it drags on for a long time, it always feels that there will be problems.

Just when the drowsiness of the torment came, he suddenly heard the sound of shouting and killing outside, his heart tightened, and he quickly turned over and got up, at this time, several pro-soldiers also ran into the big tent in a panic and began to put on armor for the torment.

"What's going on?" Yan Mi asked with a gloomy face while wearing armor. At this moment, although he was in the big tent, he could already faintly feel the light of fire rising outside.

"General, the Han army has attacked the camp..... Now that the front camp has broken through....." The pro-soldier also said with a panicked face, and kept cursing the Han people for being despicable and cunning in his heart.

"It's not good......" Seeing that he was about to get fully dressed, he suddenly let out a loud cry, ignoring the armor that was not yet neat, and aimed the edge of the knife at the outside of the tent with the long knife beside him.

Just when the long knife was raised, several cavalry Han soldiers had already tied the camp tent with iron hooks and ropes, and then the war horses used force at the same time, and the camp tent collapsed directly. Then several torches were thrown directly on top of the collapsed tent.

He struggled out of the collapsed tent, but before he could see what was happening, he was impaled through his body by several spears. And a scene like this is being staged in the entire camp at this moment, not only the camp of the Dawan people, but also the camp of the rest people is taken care of by the Han army.

In the panic, the rest of the nobles could not put on iron armor at all, and it was Bai Zheng who personally led the troops to attack their camp. Since Bai Zheng was named Wu Anjun, he has rarely gone into battle to kill the enemy in person, but tonight he took the lead and killed to his heart's content in the camp of the resting people, and the depression in his heart for several days was vented.

The attack lasted until the morning of the second day, and with the same number of people on both sides, one came prepared, the other panicked, and the results were self-evident. More than 10,000 people died under the sabers of the Han army and Wusun that night, and more than 10,000 people surrendered, and only more than 20,000 people finally fled back to Guishan City.

"Take advantage of the enemy's rout and flee, send troops to Guishan, this battle must take Guishan City in one fell swoop." Huo Guang stood at the head of Yu Chengcheng and ordered. Then, just after a big battle, the Han-Ukrainian coalition army, which still seemed very excited, once again stepped on the war horse and headed towards Guishan, the capital of Dawan Kingdom, after a simple repair.

When the Dawan army broke and fled back to Guishan City, the whole Dawan country panicked. In a hurry, the nobles and commoners of Guishan City were mobilized to prepare to defend the city, and those nobles had already begun to have their own ghosts. Previously, when the widow fell to the rest of the vassal, some of the Dawan nobles had already had differences, and now the Dawan army and the rest of the army were defeated, and this part of the nobles was even more dissatisfied with the widow.

A year ago, both the Han Dynasty and the rest of the country were too far away for the Great Wan Kingdom. However, because of the rise of the Silk Road, Dawan is particularly admired for Han culture, and the goods of the Han Dynasty are regarded as synonymous with nobility and luxury in Dawan. When the country had to make a decision to submit to a large empire, this part of the nobility naturally wanted to lean towards the Han dynasty, but in the end their king chose to rest in peace!

Wu Widow took his guards and his subordinates to inspect the head of Guishan City, and now he can only hope that Guishan City is tall and strong, and can hold off the Han army for some time. He has already received news that the main army of Anxi, led by the Prime Minister of the Rest Empire, Olobazo, is about to wipe out the Dayue Clan, as long as the Dayue Clan is opened, the main army of Anxi will be able to arrive in Guishan soon, and when the time comes, not only the siege of Guishan can be solved, but also the defeat can be turned into victory and the Han army will be completely defeated.

When Wu Wei was inspecting the defense of the city, Dawan's Zuo Xiang Cai was also gathering his henchmen and some pro-Han Dawan nobles at the moment. The king of Dawan has two phases under the left and right, which has always been served by the largest aristocratic families in Dawan, and it is said that he went to the Longxi area of the Han Dynasty when he was young, and he has always respected the Han culture, and even can speak a few simple Chinese. In Dawan, Cai is a full pro-Han nobleman.

"Now that Dawan has reached the autumn of life and death, I have summoned you today for the sake of our Dawan's future. Dawan belongs to all nobles, not to one person. He said to the dozen or so nobles in the room.

"I have long seen that those resting people are not pleasing to the eye, these people are insatiable, they don't treat us as their own people at all, in their eyes we are just slaves, the king's insistence on going our own way is to bring us into a situation of no return, as long as the left minister raises his arms and shouts, we must respond to the left minister." A Dawan nobleman said with some resentment.

Since the widows returned to rest in peace, those resting nobles who came to Dawan first have already made these Dawan nobles complain in this country.

"What do you mean?" He asked in a deep voice as he glanced at the others in the room.

"We are willing to advance and retreat with the left." The people who are looking for are all dissatisfied, and these people are naturally willing to give it a go.

"Okay, I'll send someone to contact the Grand Governor, and your family will only prosper more after the matter is completed!" When Mo Cai stood up, he naturally couldn't help but make a promise to these followers.

Needless to know, when he was dealing with the Han army outside the city with all his might, there were already traitors within him, and these people were waiting for him to deal a fatal blow when he was exhausted.

When Huo Guang's army began to attack Guishan City, a letter of surrender from Dawan Zuo Xiang Cai had already appeared in Huo Guang's hand.

Looking at this surrender letter, Huo Guang realized for the first time what it was like for a strong fortress to be breached from the inside. At the same time, he also discovered the horror of cultural invasion, because Wu Cai's surrender clearly expressed his admiration for Han culture, and it can be said that Wu Cai's voluntary surrender was the result of a cultural invasion.

"Order, continue to increase the siege." Huo Guang ordered to continue the siege of the city, and he wanted to create more opportunities for Yu Cai from the outside.

He personally put on his own clothes and stood at the head of the city to command the defense of the city. However, the morale of the Han army and the Wusun army was now high, and soon the Dawan defenders showed a weak state.

"King, the northeast city wall has been lost, and the Han army has come up......," a bloodied Dawan officer ran to Wu Widow and said eagerly.

"Ordered to abandon the outer city, and everyone immediately retreated to the inner city." It was also an instant decision, and he gave up the outer city without any hesitation.

Guishan City has two layers of inner and outer walls, the perimeter of the outer city is too large, so there are many places that need to be defended. The inner city has a lot of food and equipment, and the walls are taller and stronger, and the area is much smaller than that of the outer city, so it is more advantageous to concentrate troops on defense.

Wu Widow took the soldiers to the inner city, and from a distance, he saw that the inner city was already covered with a large number of soldiers, and many nobles in the city also went up to the city wall.

"Zuo Xiang will open the city quickly, and I will only have to defend the inner city." Needless to say, Cai Cai came to help defend the city, and when he saw the soldiers coming and going on the city wall, he had a little more confidence in his heart.

"The king is at ease, and the minister will open the city gate and send the king on the road." Yu Cai stretched out his head and shouted at the widow under the city.

"You ......" Before he could react for a while, he saw the city gate in front of him slowly open, and then countless soldiers rushed out with sharp weapons in hand.

Needless to say, his expression has changed greatly, how can he not see it at this time, this is already the opposite. It's not about opening the door to greet yourself, it's about opening the door to kill yourself!

Guishan Castle was under internal and external attacks, and the battle quickly subsided. When Huo Guang sat on the throne of King Dawan, the head of the widow was already at his feet.

Just when Huo Guang entered Guishan City, there were still two hundred miles away from Guishan City, dozens of war horses were galloping in front, and two or three miles behind them, a resting light cavalry with thousands of people was in hot pursuit.

It was Su Wu and his party who fled frantically with these dozens of horsemen, and the original team of 400 people left Rome, and there were less than 30 people left at this moment. Su Wu lay on his horse's back, his hands clutching the reins tightly, a resting arrow in his back dug deep into his shoulder, and now they didn't even have time to find a place to pull out the arrow for a simple process.
