Sixty-nine inches of grass do not grow

……

In the fourth year of Xuanwu of the Han Dynasty, January 15......

After several days of gathering, Nan Jian finally assembled the Kushan army, and now it is located in Turbo City, forty miles away from the national capital.

The turbine city is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and the terrain is dangerous, which is the barrier of the Kushan royal city, guarding the hundreds of thousands of residents and the royal family in the capital of the Kushan country, like a solid fortress.

For hundreds of years, the Kushan King has never been captured by foreign enemies, and it is with the Turbo City military fortress that all the invading enemies are blocked from this fortress.

It is also because of the existence of Turbo City that Guishan has gradually become one of the three overlords of the Western Regions.

Therefore, this city is of great significance in the hearts of the Kushan army and people, and now it has become a gathering place for the king's army.

Today's great general, the prime minister of Kushan, who has the title of "Wise Man", will once again lead the outstanding Kushan warriors to challenge another enemy from the east.

Standing on the top of the fortress castle, looking at the dense gathering of 300,000 troops under the city, he suddenly felt full of pride, and his achievements were in the present day.

However, this mood did not last long, and a slave soldier knelt down in front of him in a hurry, and said breathlessly:

"General, it's not good, the Han army has broken through the border defense line and entered the territory of my Guishan, and is currently marching towards Tucheng, and the city lord of Sitain asks the general to send troops to help!"

Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, and then showed a look that had already been seen through, smiling, and smiling roughly: "Everything is expected by this general, and the white qi soldiers entering the border are all my layout,

When their army comes from afar, they will be sleepy and lacking horses, and they will rush to attack the city and plunder the land before they can rest, and they will definitely lack food and water.

Sent an order to Stain, defend the earthen city, and let the White Qipifu not leave the city no matter how provoked outside the city, and wait for our army to go and converge.

At that time, the two armies will attack, and he Bai Qi will undoubtedly be defeated, hahaha, everything is in the layout of this general, hum, Bai Qi Xiaoer, after all, he is too young,

Think that if you win a few small tribal countries that are not in the stream, you really think you are a famous general? But when I met my Kushan army,

The result is doomed to defeat, hahahaha......"

These words made the blood boil of the slave soldiers kneeling on the ground, and they looked up at this Guishan "god of war" with extremely admiring eyes.

At this moment, Nan Ji was completely immersed in his own imagination, and he didn't take the White Qi army in his eyes at all.

……

After several days of rapid marching, although they were harassed by a small group of Guishan rangers along the way, it did not affect his marching speed.

By 17 January, the first 30,000 main forces, together with the 5,000 troops of logistics Wang He and Wei Ji, had rushed to camp 20 miles outside Tucheng.

Then, by learning about the water source gathering place outside the city from the Kushan herdsmen captured by the tribes along the way, before the Tucheng army reacted, he sent troops to occupy various oasis passages, completely cutting off the most important water source to Tucheng.

In fact, once this water source is cut off, the victory or defeat has basically been decided, not to mention that in this desert isolated city, even in the Central Plains battlefield, once the waterway is blocked, it will cause extremely serious consequences to the defenders.

The city lord of Tucheng, Si Tayin, was lying on the side of the three-zhang high city wall, looking at the dense military village outside the city, his face was full of clouds, and his heart was terrified.

After a long time, he spat out angrily: "Why haven't the general's men and horses come yet!?" ”

After speaking, he slammed the battlement wall hard.

There were more than 10,000 defenders in Tucheng, but half of them were herdsmen, and they had not undergone systematic military training, so that this group of people could resist the wolf-like god-killing army outside the city.

What's more, the news that Bai Qi slaughtered all the tribes of the Western Regions and caused millions of lives to be destroyed was known even to ordinary Kushan civilians, let alone an aristocratic class like Stain.

Although everyone verbally disdained what the Han army did, thinking that it was purely because the countries in the Western Regions were not strong, Bai Qi was even more of a coward who could only pick soft persimmons.

But when this soft persimmon appeared alive in front of his eyes, Starin naturally couldn't laugh at all.

There are three reasons why I can't laugh, the first point is that from the information obtained, the Han army is well-equipped to an outrageous degree, from blades to armor, fully armed to the teeth, more than ten times stronger than his own soldiers and horses.

Second, the reinforcements have not arrived for a long time, and Starin has sent several waves of scouts to Turbo City to ask for help, and the reply has always been "stubborn", which makes Starin feel uneasy.

The third point is that the oasis roads that provide water to Tucheng have all been blocked by the Han army, which is the most fatal hand.

People can go without food for a few days, but they can't go without drinking water for a day, although there are a lot of water sources stored in the city, but the 60,000 or 70,000 soldiers and civilians in Tucheng can only last for two days if they die.

Two days later, the water resources were exhausted, and there was no need for the Han army to attack, and I am afraid that civil strife would start in the city first.

"No! This must change! ”

Starin clenched his fists, made up his mind, turned to the Tucheng general Wanda on the side and said, "General Wanda, the oasis outside the city is occupied by those shameless Han troops,

As the generals of the Kushan Empire, we should bear this heavy responsibility for this, and we should not watch the enemy take the initiative. ”

Wanda crossed her hands on her chest, bowed and replied, "My esteemed city lord, you say, what do you need me to do for you?" ”

Starn pointed out of the city and said to Wanda, "I need you to take back the Fountain of Life, you should understand that without water, we can't last long,

You can't hold out until the arrival of the great general, so General Wanda, you can lead the best soldiers under your command from that group of shameless enemies,

In exchange for a little bit of life? ”

Wanda didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied: "The city lord trusts me so much, I naturally want to dedicate everything I have to Tucheng and the empire.

I will lead my most loyal subordinates to teach these self-righteous Han soldiers a bloody lesson.

By the way, tell them that Guishan is different from the states of the Western Regions, and his small Han Kingdom cannot be provoked at all! ”

Starin nodded with satisfaction: "Then, everything is up to General Wanda!" ”

Wanda knelt on one knee, and after saluting, he immediately gathered a thousand cavalry under his command and assembled in front of the city gate.

"Great Kushan warriors, my most loyal and brave subordinates, now, it is you who have fulfilled your original promise, and the Han soldiers outside the city are coming to the city,

They cut us off from the water we need to survive, and want to kill us by thirst and die here.

Are you willing to accept the fate of death like this? ”

As soon as Wanda finished speaking, a thousand cavalry immediately shouted loudly.

"Unwilling!"

"Chop off all the heads of the Han people!"

"Kill them all, the Kushan Empire is invincible!"

"Roar~~"

Bursts of roaring roars, thousands of men and horses were high-spirited, and their faces were full of determination to see death as home, vowing to teach the invading troops outside the city a bloody lesson.

Wanda was very satisfied with the soldier's current performance, slowly pulled out the arc knife from his waist, and waved his arms high: "Okay, warriors, kill with me,

Today's task is simple, recapture the oasis occupied by the Han soldiers, and let the spring of life continue to pour into this great city. ”

"Kill~~"

"Kill~~"

"Kill~~"

In the sound of the mountain and the tsunami, the closed gate of the earth city was slowly pushed open.

Wanda took the lead and galloped out.

Behind him, the Kushan cavalry, who looked at death as if they were home, followed closely, forming a tragic picture!
