Chapter 174: The Heart of the Qishan People

There is such a big movement in the Gobi Desert, and the countries of the Western Regions have of course known about the migration of the ancient country of Loulan through the walking of caravans and the investigation of military scouts from various countries, and the Qishan people in Qishan City are the people of the ancient country of Loulan, and the military scouts of various countries must of course pay attention to the war between the Han and the Qishan people during this period of time.

Wang Guifei got Huo Guangzhi's flying pigeon reply, and sent a large number of scouts before the Han army arrived in Shanjun, put on the costumes of the countries of the Western Regions, dressed up as a caravan, and went to the periphery of Qishan in batches, and began to secretly monitor, Qishan is so big, especially around the pass are the focus of surveillance, and the primeval forest is also to be explored, because there is about fifteen miles away from the pass, and the entire primeval forest belt is located in the southwest of Qishan City, and the section of the primeval forest in the south is the only one that is not blocked by high mountains and cliffs. It's just some hilly areas, but I don't know how complicated it is, and the Qishan soldiers only conducted a simple investigation and exploration of the primeval forests around Qishan.

Because of the mission, the Han soldiers ventured into the primeval forest, which can be called the primeval forest, which naturally has its reason, the terrain is relatively flat, but the area is large, there is no road, there are a large number of branches and rotten leaves on the ground, and there will be unknown animals and plants.

Han detectives naturally knew, so several detectives carefully went deeper, while leaving a mark on the way to make it easier to return, but after walking for two hours, they knew that they had entered the depths of the primeval forest, but they had not found the traces of Qishan City, so they had to exit the primeval forest according to the original way, and returned without results, but several detectives were sure of the direction they were taking, and the front would definitely be the city of Qishan City, but a few detectives were too weak, in order not to reveal their whereabouts.

There are also many military detectives who are naturally lurking in front of the Qishan Pass (when the moat was excavated, the detectives did not rush to the front of the pass, resulting in the moat not being discovered by the Han military detectives), and there is no sign of the construction of the attached city in the city.

At the same time that the Han soldiers returned to the city, the Han marshal General Qin also arrived at Shanjun City with 20,000 or 30,000 troops, Wang Guifei and several generals led the troops out of the city to welcome them, and Marshal Qin and several generals were let into Shanjun City and entered the court hall of Shanjun City.

Marshal Qin was the biggest official, so he sat at the highest place in the court and began to inquire about the situation in Qishan City, of course, he had to ask the two generals Xia Yuan and Guan Qing face to face, and the two generals carefully explained the battle situation in the court.

When the two generals shared the war situation, Wang Guifei knew that she had sent a military detective to return to the city, so she sent the military detective to the court and asked him to explain the situation separately, but the result was to disappoint everyone in the court, because there was really no valuable information, and all the basis for attacking the city seemed to be told by Xia Yuan and Guan Qing.

Marshal Qin couldn't sit still in the court, and the generals surrounded the sand table with Marshal Qin, taking the sand table as the prototype together, seeing the sand table, listening to the two generals' statements and descriptions, of course, they were thinking about how to attack the city.

Xia Yuan and Guan Qing reported the whole process of the defeat, and the Han generals naturally knew about the deployment of the Qishan army, where there were archers, where there were hand-to-hand encounters, and where there were traps.

The two generals of the Han Dynasty said what should be said, and the others listened to what they should have heard, and the rest is time to express their personal opinions, the Han army has nearly 30,000 people this time, which can be said to be a little more than the soldiers in Qishan City, so they began to deploy defenses against Qishan one by one, of course, the army still takes the pass as the main direction of attack, because the pass gate is the most direct and concise way to break through Qishan City, and the heavy troops are not transferable. This time, the Han army is sufficient, and it is possible for a part of the archers and climbers to make a feint, and it is possible to disperse the archers on both sides of the pass to attack the soldiers at the gate of the pass, and they will definitely be able to.

Then it is to send two or three thousand soldiers into the primeval forest, in order to find the location of Qishan City and attack Qishan City from the rear.

According to the statements of the Han generals Xia Yuan and Guan Qing, the court of Shanjun already has a way to deal with it, whether this method is effective or not, whether it can break through Qishan City in one fell swoop, it really depends on the battle.

Wang Guifei set up a reception banquet for the Han generals, and the banquet was ready, so more than ten generals entered the banquet under Wang Guifei's courtesy, and the wine and food were eaten. The generals began to praise each other, and at the same time, there were also those who asked Marshal Qin to fight during the banquet, and the beautiful women sang and danced to the hall from time to time.

The Xiongnu soldiers dressed as a caravan and entered the city of Shanjun, and found out all the situation of the Han army this time, and naturally reported the news to the Xiongnu, the Xiongnu can have a deep hatred with the Han Dynasty, how many people died under the swords and guns of the Han soldiers, and it is inevitable to retaliate against the Han army.

The Xiongnu State Dashan in the Chinese army account of Achalu was crowded with the banner owners of the Huns, and began to discuss the plan to retaliate against the Han army, the discussion was deep, the Huns were brave and good at fighting, but they also knew the art of war, understood the strategy, and finally chose to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight, in order to obtain the last fisherman's benefit, from time to time the purple flag master of the Huns mentioned the matter of the grain and grass of the Han army, which naturally aroused the interest and opinions of all the councilors, and they all knew what the grain and grass meant to the Han army, what it meant, there were two explanations, One is that if the Han army can break through Qishan City with one blow, it is a meaning, and the other is that the Han army cannot break through Qishan City with one blow, even for as many as three or five days, that is a meaning, grain and grass are the source of life.

Princess Lan Qi'er An Ran and the ministers in Qishan City heard the report of the scouts in the court, and knew that there were unknown people outside the Qishan Pass and in the primeval forest, not only to stay, but also to probe and observe, and everyone in the court naturally understood that these unknown people must be Han scouts to prepare for the Han army's attack on Qishan City again.

So in the court, everyone began to analyze the direction of the Han army's attack, the way of attack, the result is fate, the same thinks, Qishan Pass is the direction of the Han army's main attack, no matter what the way is, it is necessary to defend the city and fight, as long as you do your own layout, to defend the city unchanged to respond to the changes of the enemy.

The deployment of the Qishan army has not changed much, only the general of the left banner was sent to the rear of the city of Qishan, in the primeval forest, in case the Han army through the primeval forest to form a two-sided attack on the city of Qishan, the general of the left banner is not too much, two groups of strong crossbowmen and two hundred soldiers, this makes sense, in the primeval forest than the side of the army is not more, is to see that side has the advantage of geographical advantages, you can first arrange hidden weapons, traps and so on.

On the mountainside on both sides of the pass, two groups of strong crossbowmen and 50 soldiers were sent to ensure the safety of the high power, because this time it was the arrival of the Han heavy army, more than 30,000 people, the enemy army will not be the same as last time, ignoring the archers of our army on the mountainside, there will definitely be action.

The city wall is the most important position, the remaining five groups of strong crossbowmen are naturally going to be placed here, these four groups of strong crossbowmen can cooperate with the archers on the main city wall and the attached city wall, said to cooperate, in fact, it is the main archer, belongs to the absolute miracle soldiers, in the future battle, ten groups of strong crossbowmen have really become one of the factors of the defeat of the Han army.

Lan Qi'er was above the court, seeing that General Lan had explained the city defense so clearly, the battle could be over, but there was another imperial decree, which he had to take into account as the emperor, that is, the army of the Han Dynasty came with a certain victory, and the number of combat power was overwhelming.

So he issued the emperor's decree and appointed a special minister, who was responsible for the young citizens of the country, abandoned his home for a while, and entered the country's material reserve, that is, the huge cave in Qishan, which was found by the generals of Lan Da in Qishan early, and was a natural cave, the cave was extremely hidden, close to the water source, and there was necessary food in the cave, and there was a plan to evacuate.

The court meeting ended with the issuance of the imperial decree of Lan Qier, which can play a huge role in uniting the people, one is to solve the worries of the soldiers, and the other is that the people know that the empress Lan Qier has such considerations and arrangements, although there is a strong enemy outside the pass, the children can be safe, and there is no sense of fear for a while, and the people began to take the initiative to ask for their lives outside the court, and they are all interested in participating in the battle to protect their families and defend the country.

The reaction of the people to all this, naturally moved by Lan Qi'er and the ministers, naturally got Lan Qi'er's approval, some young and strong people were included in the fighting soldiers, of course, not in the pass gate, but they were arranged in the rear of Qishan City, the team of the general of the left banner and the mountainside on both sides of the pass, can assist the soldiers to set traps, can help the soldiers on the mountainside to throw wood thunder stones, for a time the number of Loulan soldiers suddenly exceeded 5,000 people, 2,000 people have no iron weapons, but they have strength, Have a heart that is not afraid.

The deployment at the pass of Qishan City is nearing the end, there is nothing that needs to be changed, in the rear of Qishan City, the general of the left banner led the army and the people naturally need some effort, and there are not many personnel with combat effectiveness, so we have to set up traps as much as possible to achieve the effect of surrendering the army without a fight.

Hundreds of people set up traps in the primeval forest, naturally there must be unified marks and characteristics, in order to prevent self-injury, in case it is not conducive to the running and evacuation of their own people, all of them are under the unified arrangement of the construction, and each trap has a special person in charge, when to start is to listen to the command, it can be said that at the same time, but also imitate the enemy attack, to see if it can really play a good role in killing the enemy, the amount of labor is very great, but there is no slack mood, because this is not for others, For yourself and future generations!
