Chapter 269: It's good to think about robbing while it's hot
The Han army was defeated, the Xiongnu State also disappeared for a while, the life of the Loulan Empress Lan Qi'er was over, and the courts of the Western Regions countries were collegiate, especially some small countries that were arrogant and arrogant, and the small Han border countries (Xiaowan Kingdom) that succumbed to the Han Dynasty had ambitions and ideas.
The court meeting of Xiaowan Kingdom began, and King Xue Lipu listened to the invitation and analysis of some civil ministers and military generals in the court, talking about the current geographical situation, economic situation, military situation, etc.
That is, the Han and Hun cavalry can attack the Qishan City where the Loulan Kingdom is located several times, and there have been several experiences of attacking the Qishan City, the number of soldiers in the ancient country of Loulan is certain, but as many as a few thousand, it is just by virtue of the fortress natural danger to hold on, the situation is now very clear, the Empress Loulan has died, and the soldiers of her country have been hit hard, and the vitality has been greatly injured, the geographical location of Qishan is too good in the Western Regions, why not take advantage of the most favorable opportunity to fight for it, if the country can complete the rule of Qishan, In the future, the sons and grandchildren of the country will be oppressed, and the country will be able to get rid of the dependency of the Han Dynasty and be self-reliant!
This is the vassal country, a restless vassal country, it seems that they are unwilling to accept the repression, the ministers have ideas and ambitions, and of course King Xue Lipu is also willing to be a real and unique monarch, and the result of the political discussion is naturally approved by Xue Lipu.
Xiaowan is small for the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu Kingdom, but it is still possible in the countries of the Western Regions, and the army also has nearly 10,000 soldiers, but it is unrealistic to really gather the power of the country to bully and swallow the ancient country of Loulan Qishan City.
Under the resolution of the dynasty, the campaign was mainly cavalry, with 5,000 elite soldiers, and the victory was terminated by bullying and oppression without a fight, several generals and generals of Xiaowan Kingdom could see the opportunity to make meritorious contributions, they were too good in their hearts, and they had already learned through the military detectives that the soldiers of the ancient country of Loulan were an empty shelf, and the soldiers were all children who were only fourteen or sixteen years old, and they did not have the basic quality of soldiers at all, let alone life and death battles, and this battle would definitely be able to win a big victory, definitely!
King Xue Lipu gave the holy decree of the emperor, and the army was assembled in the national capital, which can be said to be relatively secret, of course, he wanted to send troops suddenly, the capital of Xiaowan was only half a day away from Qishan City in the ancient country of Loulan for cavalry, and it was only a day away, and such a surprise attack definitely had a certain effect.
Due to the full preparation, the generalissimo of Xiaowan Country Gu Mu Haraharu personally led the army to set off by the moonlight, and just after the early morning, nearly 5,000 cavalry arrived outside the Qishan Pass.
Because the court had already drawn up a plan for the ancient country of Loulan Qishan City, the historian of Xiaowan State could go straight to the Qishan Pass at the first time under the rhythm of the snare drum, and asked for an invitation to the current empress of Qishan, and thousands of soldiers suddenly appeared outside the Qishan Pass, and there was an invitation from a foreign envoy, and the news quickly spread to the court of Qishan.
The Qishan court is holding a court meeting, with such a big situation, it is impossible for a foreign envoy to enter the Qishan Pass, Empress An Ran immediately discussed with the ministers, and the result is naturally that the foreign soldiers must be not good, and they must want to take advantage of the situation to bully them.
For a while, everyone in the court did not know the specific situation, since the foreign soldiers had arrived outside the Qishan Pass, there was a messenger invitation card did not attack the city, proving that there would be no war for a while, whether the war would be fought or not, you have to understand, no matter how it is good to prepare for war first, so Empress Enron gave an order, under the holy decree, the general Soha received the order and began to arrange troops to wait for the battle, Empress Enron led everyone to personally rush to the city wall of Qishan Pass to personally face the foreign envoy!
A quarter of an hour passed, An Ran and others climbed the city wall of Qishan Pass, looked at the outside of the moat, it was good to be condescending, if the plane really didn't know how many soldiers on the other side, this height could be seen clearly, at a glance, everyone, especially the generals, quickly knew it.
Empress Enron knew that no matter what, the foreign envoy was outside the moat, and she could not talk to him on the wall of the pass, so she said; "Go, go to the moat, go"!
General Sohaso said immediately; "Your Majesty, is this inappropriate?"
An Ran said, "No, since the foreign country has sent envoys, it will definitely not be a battle immediately, definitely, go, General Suo, you are on the wall of the pass, just listen to what I say when I come back, and wait and see what happens!" ”
The ministers then followed the empress down the pass city wall safely, out of the pass gate to talk, through the dialogue, An Ran and others understood the specific situation, that is, the other party has analyzed the situation in Qishan City more specifically, it is to deceive, in the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu Kingdom to Loulan City, Loulan City, the same as the ancient country of Loulan, is a clear bully, is to let the Loulan people choose by themselves, is the war, is surrender can be chosen, but this choice is not active, is passive, is helpless!
Empress Enron can represent the whole country, she gave a reply to the envoy of Xiaowan Kingdom, and gave the answer an hour later, the country is not her own, it belongs to the people, and it needs to be discussed by the state, and the reason is to make the other party's envoy understand, naturally in order to buy more time for General Suo, and to win time for the people in Qishan not to surrender!
An Ran and others returned to the pass city wall, the time is urgent, it is impossible for the court to return to the regular court, it can only be opened on the city wall, in the final analysis, there is no intention of surrender, now the number of enemy troops is known, the enemy army is in the country, the victory is uncertain, the only thing there is is the spiritual power to protect the family and defend the country.
General Suo Da informed Empress Enron of the number and existing capabilities of the country's troops, and expressed that hundreds of soldiers will be able to defend it by relying on the natural danger and moat of the pass gate, although the enemy army is thousands, but the opponent is attacking is absolutely passive, the battle of natural danger is not a positional war, it is a clever battle, the battle is good, the enemy army does not know the situation, and a few hundred soldiers can reach tens of thousands of soldiers!
General Suo Da had already learned that there were only a few thousand soldiers in Xiaowanguo through the military posts on the peaks on both sides, and he did not divide the troops, so he was more confident and sure of sticking to it, and he reported to Empress Enron from time to time.
Empress Enron made the final imperial decree at this time, and the battle was under the command of General Suo Da alone, and the other generals were not allowed to act rashly, and Wenchen immediately withdrew from the pass city wall and coordinated the people to be ready to evacuate at any time.
After the Holy Decree of Empress Enron was issued, she did not leave the pass city wall, but climbed to a side mountain to watch it, General Suo Da began to arrange the troops, and the main child soldiers and the Praetorian Guards were arranged at the gate of the pass city wall, and the peaks on both sides were mainly arranged with mixed child soldiers and older male people in the country, which was the last military strength of the ancient country of Loulan after the heavy damage!
The so-called soldiers in Qishan City are arranged, most of the children are facing foreign soldiers for the first time, and there is really no fear in their hearts, some of them are foreign soldiers who want to pass through the pass gate and moat It is impossible, it is delusional, if they really attack the pass gate and city wall, they must die and hold on, and they are alive and alive, and they are the hope of living!
Time is flying, one side is waiting, one side is secretly deploying troops, each has its own ideas, war is inevitable, and if you can't wait for the result, you will naturally launch an attack.
The horn of the war sounded, Xue Lipu, the generalissimo of Xiaowan State, and several generals can know the general situation of the soldiers of Loulan State, but they do not know the breadth and wonder of the moat, when the Han army attacked the Qishan Pass, it was the Han army stationed outside the pass, and the military detectives of various countries could not get close to watch, and any situation in the moat was not observed by the military detectives of various countries, which led to the fact that the soldiers of Xiaowan did not know anything about the moat!
After the horn is the attack of the Xiaowan army, General Suo is not in a hurry, he always pays attention to the movement of the enemy, the soldiers leaned towards the moat, not to know, the moat outside the pass gate is so wide and long, the water flow is still very turbulent, all of a sudden blocked, build a bridge, the army on the bridge, the early not the entire water surface paved, the amount of soldiers on the bridge is too small, resulting in a large number of soldiers being shot by the crossbowmen on both sides of the pass city wall and the mountainside.
The generalissimo of Xiaowan had to change the attack plan, this time it was not to build a bridge, but to pave the road, and it was to lay a comprehensive plank on the moat, which was really a heavy loss, General Suo and Empress Enron saw it in their eyes, and waited for time in their hearts, half an hour passed, and the entire moat was almost completely covered, and nearly 1,000 enemy soldiers had attacked the moat.
At this time, with the order of General Suo, the river surface that had already floated the hump oil was on fire, and it was on fire in an instant, and the enemy army was all out of order, and the soldiers of Xiaowan were not Han army and Hun cavalry were often fighting, and the military order was like a mountain, this formation not only made the ordinary soldiers of Xiaowan lose the momentum of the attack, but also made several generals and generals of his country lose confidence in attacking the Qishan Pass, such a large number of military casualties can make the generalissimo not know how to be good, the soldiers have a discussion from time to time, who doesn't want to live, because everyone has a home, has a family, and it is a comfortable life to return to China, and the momentum of the war suddenly collapsed completely.
The generalissimo and the generals had to discuss the matter immediately, and they had no bottom in their hearts, what were they fighting, a total of thousands of people, and then they thought that the tens of thousands of Han troops had failed, and they had not been able to destroy the ancient country of Loulan, and they had not been able to completely occupy Qishan, so they took the initiative to give up, withdrew from the range of Qishan, and retreated to the territory of Xiaowan Kingdom.
People with desires abound, but desires will have consequences, if you want to take advantage of the fire to rob, you have to see if you have the strength, the people in Qishan City once again defeated the invading enemy and maintained the dignity of the country!
