Wusun was one of the most important countries connecting the eastern and western steppe transportation in the Han Dynasty.

Their leader was called "Kunmo" or "Kunmi".

At first, the Wusun people also relied on the Xiongnu and were their vassals.

But when they moved to the rich Ili River valley and grew stronger, they gradually broke free from the control of the Xiongnu.

Their political center was in Akaya Castle, and they were mainly engaged in animal husbandry, hunting, and horse breeding.

For thousands of years, they have always been an important place in the northwest border, guarding the east-west land transportation, and are an important area leading to Central Asia, West Asia and southern Xinjiang.

The night was dark.

In the capital of King Wusun, in the city of Chigu, King Wusun's younger brother Ulianya came to the palace late at night and reported to King Wusun in an emergency.

"I received a secret report that the Han army is coming to attack my Wusun, and the soldiers and horses have come out of the Yumen camp."

Wu Lian is also dressed in a leather robe, and his eyes are blazing:

"After the Han army defeated the Xiongnu, I began to pay attention to collecting news about the Han army.

The general who previously led the Han army to the Western Regions to raise troops, named Huo Quai, was a general of the Han people.

The Xiongnu also hoped that I, Wusun, would be able to lead the army to resist the Han Chinese, so they sent someone to send very detailed information. ”

He also said: "Huo Qubing and the Huns have had many confrontations, and they are good at attacking with soldiers, they can travel thousands of miles a day, and they are accustomed to using strange soldiers, which is unexpected.

I suspect that they are not only the ten thousand soldiers and horses who came out of the Jade Gate on the surface. ”

The Western Regions is also the land of four wars, and Wu Lianye has rich combat experience and is familiar with military affairs.

He pondered and judged: "The Han army went out of the Yumen to attack my Wusun, no matter how fast it is, it will take a week to arrive, but I guess that the Han army must have other soldiers and horses, and they will come before this team."

From now on, we will strengthen our defenses. ”

King Wusun sat in the palace chamber and wore a robe with a beige pattern.

The night breeze blew from the window, and the candles in the hall flickered.

His face is covered by the changes of light and shadow, which looks gloomy and has a strong sense of three-dimensionality.

"The first battle between the Han army and my Wusun must be won, so that the Han will be more jealous of my Wusun and dare not raise troops easily."

"Brother Wang, don't worry, in our place, I am sure to win." Ulian was also a little excited about the upcoming war.

"What arrangements have you made?"

"Qiuzi, Wensu, and Gumo are all pro-Han, if the Han army comes, there is a high probability that they will choose to go north from Qiuci and attack our Wusun border city, which will be more convenient for their supplies.

I have sent orders overnight to strengthen the defense of the border city. ”

Wu Lian also said in an orderly manner: "Considering that the Han general Huo Qubing is willing to use Qi, and the Western Xiongnu have already surrendered to the Han, I have strengthened the northern front to strengthen its defenses."

If the Han army really uses strange troops and chooses to come from the Western Xiongnu along the northern line and kill them through the Alashan Pass in the north, we will also be on guard. ”

King Wusun nodded.

He has always believed in this younger brother's ability to fight.

Wulian is also an invincible general in the Western Regions, and there are many collisions between the commanders and the Western Huns, and they are even more victorious in battles in the Western Regions and other countries.

Judging the situation of the Han army from him, it can be seen that he is cautious and confident in his use of soldiers, and his reputation is well deserved.

"The Han envoy who came to deliver the news before was expelled by us the day before yesterday, and it is estimated that he has not left the territory of my Wusun at this moment. Since the Han army dared to attack my Wusun, let people catch up, kill the Han envoys to Mingzhi, and encourage all departments to fight to the death with the Han army! ”

King Wusun got up after saying this and walked to the dormitory: "You should be more careful in this war, and you will be responsible for arranging the rest." ”

……

Wusun is located in the northwest corner of the Western Regions, a vast area south of Alashankou.

The evil king of Hun and the king of the chieftain Tu led the army from the Hun evil department of the Western Xiongnu in the night, all the way to the west, and advanced rapidly along the plains north of the Western Regions.

Their route was outside the Western Regions, and finally came to the north of the Wusun Alashan Pass.

From here, you can enter the northern part of Usun.

Wu Lian also judged the military affairs quite accurately, and took the Western Xiongnu who surrendered to the Han into account in advance, and expected the direction of the possible attack along the way.

But he still misjudged two things, the first was that the time of the journey came earlier than he expected.

On the night when the Yumen battalion sent troops, this way had been killed to Alashankou.

Huo Quzhi had long seen through that Wusun would not surrender, so he had made arrangements in advance earlier than anyone thought.

After the chieftain Tu and the evil king went to Chang'an to meet the emperor, they received an order to immediately turn back to the northwest and secretly dispatch troops and horses to reach the north of Alashankou at this time.

This is the first time that Huo Qubing has used two Hun kings as generals, so the evil king of Hun and the king of the chieftain have the intention of trying to perform, and the elite under their command have done their best, without the slightest delay along the way.

At this time, the two came to the north of Alashankou to stay in the horse at night.

It was already close to the westernmost border of the Xiongnu.

The wasteland is boundless, and the stars are lonely.

In the distance, there are low hills and faintly audible wolf howls.

Behind him is a team of 10,000 Huns, evil and evil, and the two chiefs each have 5,000 elites, which are composed together.

"Wulian is also a general of Wusun, and he has had a lot of contact with our departments in the past, and his people are proficient in military affairs, so we must deal with it carefully."

The king of the chieftain Tu sat on his horse, and the old man said solemnly.

The Evil King of Hun had long hair and a shawl, and glanced around: "The secret order given to us by the Hou Ye said to come over at the scheduled time, join up with another Han army, and join forces to attack Wusun."

We have arrived on time, why is there no trace of the other Han army? ”

The Chieftain King was also looking around.

There was no one in the wilderness, and there was no sign of the presence of any other soldiers and horses around.

The Evil King of Hun said: "We came from the north of the Western Regions, and there was a road from the Jade Gate to the west, and the bright side was to attack Wusun, but in fact, it was to attract attention and cover our march.

The real target of Yumen all the way is Yanqi.

Huo Hou said that the third road to converge with us, what route did Wusun take?

I thought about it for days but couldn't figure it out. King Tu, you may see what route these third soldiers and horses are taking? ”

King Tu shook his head and said: "Huo Hou uses soldiers, I have personally learned them, and they can often surprise people and be unpredictable. The other Han army is the key to breaking Wusun this time, how can I see through it? ”

King Tu didn't notice the existence of Han troops around, so he took out a piece of emerald green leaves with a flowing texture.

This is the concentric lotus leaf, which Huo Qubing used to get them to contact another line of soldiers and horses, or to report on the progress of the march.

The Chieftain King immediately pushed the Divine Thought Brand on the leaves and contacted the soldiers and horses of another way.

The leaf soon glowed with a texture, and a response emerged:

"To the south!"

…… The king of the chieftain and the king of Hun looked south together.

Further south is the Alashan Pass, which leads to the Ili River Plain in Wusun.

"They came earlier than us, and continued south through the Alashan Pass, which is the northern border city of Wusun, the city of the Aare River Valley."

The chieftain Tu and the Hun evil king briefly discussed, and then led his army to the south, preparing to join the Han army on another road.

They approached the area south of Alashankou in the early hours of the morning.

On the plains and heights ahead, there is a fortress.

The so-called fortress was mainly built for military purposes, and the scale was generally not large.

The city of the Aare River Valley is built with loess and is built according to the steep and towering terrain of the remaining veins of Alashankou.

This fortress is located in the highest position in the surrounding terrain, facing cliffs on three sides, and is the northern border city of Wusun, which is heavily defended and easy to defend and difficult to attack.

Although there were only 3,000 defenders in the city, it was never breached after it was built.

The evil king of Hun and the king of the chieftain came over and met another Han army in a dry valley.

The Han army seemed to be out of nothingness, spreading mist and manifesting out of thin air.

The King of Hun Evil and the King of the Chieftain are both in good spirits.

This means of manifesting out of thin air shows that the Han army in front of him is Huo Quai's descendant, and he can't imitate it if he wants to.

The captain of the Han army, who led the troops, held a plan to conceal the sky and the sea, and after showing his traces, he greeted:

"Master Hou sent a secret order, let me join forces with you here, break the northern line of Wusun, and approach the direction of its royal city Chigu. When Li Kang's troops on the southern line came from Yanqi to kill, they would be one east and one north with us, and the two roads would wave their troops at the same time to attack the capital of Wusun Wangdu. ”

The lieutenant who spoke was dressed in light armor, tall and strong, about twenty-five or sixteen years old, and held an extremely thick bronze horse!

Those who can use this kind of bronze Shuo are all brave generals who have fallen into the enemy on the battlefield.

Shuo should have been a weapon in the Han and Tang dynasties, but in the current world, there was Ma Shuo in the Qin period.

After I entered the Han Dynasty, I heard that there were eight captains under the command of the forbidden army, all of whom were young generals trained by Huo Hou, and Zhao Ponu, Chen Qing, and Fulu Zhi who I had seen before were among them, and this should also be the ...... The Evil King pondered.

The Chieftain King was looking at his surroundings.

He and the Evil King of Hun were contacted in advance, and led a small team of people to come over to converge in hiding, and the Huns were still waiting dozens of miles away.

And above the valley where this meeting is the valley of Wusun.

"Has Master Hou ever explained, how to break this blockade?" Seeing that the sky was about to dawn, the Evil King asked.

The young lieutenant on the opposite side said: "My name is Zhao Anji, one of the eight captains of the forbidden army under the command of Hou Ye." Two thousand troops have come to join you. My men have gone up, and we will go up and see. ”

"Up?"

The Evil King glanced at the steep, almost vertical cliff, and the starry sky showed a long line above the cliff: "You guys are going up from here to attack Riverdale City?"

How did you get there? ”

The evil king and the chief Tu king followed Zhao Anji to the corner of the cliff on one side, and then saw a spectacle.

Drill holes in the cliff wall, stuff into the bronze plate with the width of the palm and the thickness of the finger, step by step upward, in the shape of 'zigzag', like a ladder to climb the sky, extending to the top of the cliff.

The means of the Han army to dig a plank road on the cliff wall have never been seen by the Huns, and they are very surprised.

In this way, the Han army wants to climb the cliff and surprise attack the city of the river valley?

The Evil King looked at the nearest bronze plate that was stuffed into the cliff wall, and said, "How is this built?" ”

The landform of the northwest land, the sand seems to be soft, but the rock walls have withstood the wind and sun for tens of thousands of years, and some cliffs are solid and not lose iron and stone.

If you want to dig holes and plug into the copper plate, you need to climb hundreds of high cliffs along the road, especially if there are Wusun soldiers stationed above, it is difficult to keep it hidden and not make a sound.

This kind of all-powerful surprise attack method of going deep behind enemy lines, crossing mountains and mountains, is called special operations behind enemy lines in modern times.

In this era, only Huo Quzhi has consciously trained an elite of the forbidden army to develop in the direction of special operations.

The equipment of this Han army and the concept of fighting a war must be ahead of this era.

Hun Evil and the Chieftain King had never seen each other, so they were amazed.

"The training project of our forbidden army is to dig cliffs and build plank roads. It's just that the soil and stone structure here is a little different from the mountains in my Han territory, and it took a little more effort.

The climbing copper ladder stuffed into the cliff wall is made by the Mo craftsmen according to Huo Hou's requirements, and there is an organic buckle inside, which is stuffed into the rock wall, and the machine buckle will not loosen if it is bounced open. When you take it off, you can take it out by retracting the buckle in a specific way. ”

"Let's go up."

Zhao Anji stepped on the copper plate with his breath, carried Changshuo on his back, used his hands and feet together, and climbed all the way up the rock wall like an ape, disappearing from the sight of the two.

A small group of Han troops behind him also climbed the cliff at an astonishing speed with the help of copper plates.

Just by looking at the level of proficiency, you can see that they are indeed training to climb cliffs regularly.

The evil king watched the methods of the Han army and was greatly comforted.

They were defeated by the Han army before, and when they saw the elite of the Han army, they felt very happy and unjustly defeated. If you change to other Hun tribesmen, you will also have to lose.

You just see that people will climb cliffs to fight, will you?

"You go first!" The Evil King looked at the Chieftain King.

The king of Chieftain asked rhetorically, "Why don't you go up?" ”

The Evil King was slightly embarrassed: "I don't know why, I'm a little dizzy as soon as I ascend to the top." ”

At the moment, there is no fear of heights, but fortunately, the fear of heights is not serious.

He and the chief Tu King finally relied on cultivation and climbed to the top of the cliff one after another.

The two climbed the cliff wall, and the oblique front meandered up dozens of zhang, which was the Wusun River Valley City at night.

And the position where they ascended was separated from the high ground where River Valley City was located, and there was a canyon rift six or seven feet wide.

"Since it's climbing up, why don't you just climb the cliff on the side where River Valley City is located, wouldn't it be troublesome?" The Evil King asked in a low voice.

"If you climb directly on the opposite side, when you dig a cliff to build a plank road, it will cause a slight mountain vibration, which may cause the other party to be alert.

When we were doing training, we said that to climb the cliff, you should climb the side where there is no city to prevent being discovered by the other party. Zhao Anji explained.

Above the cracks in the canyon, hooks and locks have already been set.

Before the Hun Evil King and the others came up, many Han troops had already turned over and touched the river valley city.

When the evil king of Hun and a group of Hun soldiers, borrowing ropes, crossed the cliff with difficulty, the gate of the opposite valley was quietly opened, and it was already under the control of the Han army.

At the head of the city, a group of Wusun soldiers fell silently in a pool of blood.

It seems that he was touched close by the Han army, and he was killed by cutting his throat, without any movement.

This is precisely the essence of the special operation.

The Han army under Huo Quzhi is still in the process of exploring special operations, and it is not mature.

But this team is destined to shine in the near future.

In the early morning in the ancient city of He, north of Wusun, there was a sudden sound of shouting and killing.

But the voice only lasted for a short time before it weakened.

When the sky was bright, the Han army and the Xiongnu soldiers converged, a total of more than 12,000 people, to the southern territory of Wusun, and rushed to attack.

Changan.

When he received the news that the Han army had entered the territory of Wusun from the northern front, Huo went to the emperor's study.

Roshna, Qiuzi, Gumo, Wensu and other people from the Western Regions were also there.

Roshna asked the question that everyone was puzzled about: "Where did Huohou's soldiers and horses pass through Wusun and break through its northern border city and enter its territory?" ”

"It also passed from the direction of the Western Xiongnu, but the time is different from what you think, and it has been almost a month since they entered the Western Xiongnu."

Roshna said unexpectedly: "So long? ”

"Wusun is located at the northwest end of the Western Regions, and it is the richest area. Let them give up the rich land for nothing, throw themselves into the Han Dynasty, and no one will do it. ”

Huo Quzhi said: "Since I expected that Wusun would not surrender, it must be fought in the future, and during the battle of Hexi, there was an arrangement for Wusun.

Later, accept the surrender of the Western Xiongnu, let the Han army go to the Western Xiongnu to meet the tribes that escorted them, and migrate to Xiutuze, and our Han army scattered into the Western Xiongnu at that time, and then gathered south, waiting for the opportunity, close to Wusun. ”

He added: "This battle is also a kind of training for them, as a test.

After entering the Western Xiongnu, they first sought survival in the field, attacked Wusun at the set time, and completed the combat goal. Therefore, they carry very little baggage, keep it secretive, and self-sufficiency is the purpose of the assessment. ”

When everyone heard this, they all had a wonderful feeling.

The soldiers and horses dealing with Wusun actually took advantage of the opportunity of the migration of the Western Xiongnu to take root.

At the right time, the men and horses went out of the camp to come and go, and when the small Han army went out to meet and escort the Western Xiongnu departments, they dispersed, so they could complete the arrangement without a trace.
