Tajina suddenly asked: "If I can persuade my father to stop being an enemy of the man, then am I a hero of the man?"
"I don't know this, maybe I can count it." Liu Yu scratched his head and said, "If you want to go back to Susa, the road is not peaceful, I'll give you a ride. It's just that your father has already taken you. Married to Caracalla, will he still agree?"
Tajina bit her lip and said, "Try it. You can just send me to the concession, and I will find a way to go back."
In fact, Tagina knew in her heart that there was little hope of persuading Aldaban. Aldaban loved her so much, and finally decided to marry her to Caracalla. There must be some kind of deal in it. Between the throne and his daughter, Aldaban still chose the throne, and now it is not easy for him to change his course. But if Ardaban can be persuaded to cooperate with the big man, not only can he avoid the plight of being forced to marry Caracalla, but also can take the opportunity to narrow the relationship with Liu Yu. Although there was some risk in going back this time, and weighing the pros and cons, Tagina felt that she should give it a try. However, she didn't want Liu Yu to be in danger with her, so she only hoped that he could send himself to the concession.
Liu Yu's thoughts are far from so delicate, how do you know what Tagina thinks. He looked up at the east, the sun had risen above the horizon, he could not help standing up, moving his limbs, and lifting Fang Tian's halberd, and said: "Don't think so far, take advantage of the daybreak, and go quickly. Ma Mei There is still a long way to go."
Just as they were fighting the wolves, a fierce battle just ended outside Guishan City. This former capital of Dawan, now the county town of Dawan County once again became the focus of the war.
After determining that the main force of the Han army had entered the territory of Daqin, King Khubisek of Guishuang immediately led an army of 120,000 into Dawan. The total number of Guishuang's entire army is only 150,000 people, and Hubiseka has almost all the soldiers of the whole country, with the intention of winning.
The Han court originally had 20,000 garrisons in Dawan, all from the Western Region Army Corps. Except for the 5,000 in Guishan City, the rest were scattered throughout Dawan. Of course, their main task is to ensure the safety of the transportation line from Uzbeli Fortress to Kangju.
When the Guishuang army came over, even though the scattered Han army had resisted desperately, they were outnumbered. This extremely important line of communication was finally cut off by the Guishuang people. In addition to more than 5,000 people withdrawing to Guishan City, nearly 10,000 soldiers have since buried their bones in a foreign land. The Guishuang army suffered heavy losses, with more than 20,000 casualties. Hubishika didn't care about the life and death of these soldiers, waved his horse whip, and led an army of 100,000 directly to Guishan City.
Guarding Guishan City was Wu Yi, the former general under Liu Yan. Facing the overwhelming Guishuang army, he chose the strategy of standing by and waiting for help.
This is different from Dahan's native land. Dawan has just been incorporated into Dahan's territory, and the hearts of the people have not yet been fully attached. When Guishuang's army came, the Dawan prisoners of war who were building roads immediately rushed away, which was the best proof.
Wu Yi did not dare to recruit the civilian husbands of Guishan City to go to the city to help defend, so he had to send people to ask for help from Kangju. On the other hand, he divided the soldiers into three groups. Reserve team. These three groups of soldiers rotate every hour to maintain sufficient combat effectiveness.
Although Hubiseka is old, but his heart is not dead, his wish is to continue to march westward to annex Kangju after he has captured Dawan, and put the beautiful queen mother of Kangju into the harem. Seeing only one day of marching, Dawan was left with the empty city of Guishan. Hubiseka couldn't help but feel proud, as if he was back twenty years ago. The whip pointed at the head of the city and said loudly: "Those who entered the city first, Reward a hundred taels of gold, and make a marquis first! After the city is broken, let the soldiers go for three days!"
After the Han army captured Dawan, apart from confiscation of the nobles’ property, it did not cause much damage. Ordinary people were given a lot of land. Coupled with the development of commerce and trade, their lives became richer. As the county town of Dawan, Guishan has become increasingly prosperous. How many things must be robbed after three days of fighting! Guishuang soldiers looked at the Guishan city in front of them, as if they saw countless gold and silver jewels and beautiful girls beckoning to them. They could not help cheering in unison, yelling "Three days of war! Three days of war!", like a tide toward Gui. Shancheng rushed over.
Wu Yi didn't know if he could hold on to the arrival of reinforcements, he gave the order to fight to death. Needless to say, in the face of enemies ten times their own, the soldiers had long been determined to die.
Arrows and arrows were like rain on the city. Many soldiers from Guishuang were shot as hedgehogs before they rushed under the wall. Those who finally rushed down to the city were often more miserable. Pots of hot gold juice poured down immediately, and the area where it was drenched suddenly became skin and fleshy and howled in pain. Gold juice is poisonous, and Guishuang lacks the effective medical methods of the Han army. Even if they didn't die on the spot, few people could survive it.
However, the conditions offered by Hubiseka were too tempting, and Guishuang soldiers fell one after another, but they continued to flock to Guishan City.
Although Guishan City was Dawan's prefecture, it was not the focus of the Han army's guards. The focus of the Han army's guards was the border crossing between Kangju and Dawan, as well as the Uzbeli and Turugert fortresses, so there were not many guards prepared in the city. After more than an hour, the arrows on the city became less and less, the gold juice was too late to boil, and the rolling logs and rubbing stones were all exhausted.
Despite the heavy casualties of Guishuang's army and the densely packed corpses under the city, the soldiers of Guishuang still ventured to the city under the temptation of "three days of fighting". With the decrease in the strength of the city, dozens of Guishuang soldiers finally rushed to the city.
However, the blades of the soldiers of the Han army were equally sharp. After a hand-to-hand battle, dozens of Guishuang soldiers fell one after another, and the corpses were then used as rolling stones to be pulled down the city wall.
However, these dozens of soldiers on the top of the city greatly boosted the morale of Guishuang's army, and more people poured in. Some people even abandoned their shields for convenience. Guishan City is crumbling.
Suddenly, there was a tumult in the city, and many people rushed to the four gates.
Wu Yi was shocked. No matter how powerful the Guishuang army, and the shortage of materials to defend the city, he has the confidence to hold on for two days and wait for reinforcements from other places. Because up to now, the defenders have not suffered more than a hundred casualties, and the main force still exists. However, if the people of Dawan took the opportunity to rebel at this time, Guishan City would not be able to defend it anyway. Wu Yi secretly passed the order to let the soldiers prepare to evacuate Guishan. Preserving strength and avoiding unnecessary sacrifices is also a countermeasure Liu Xin usually teaches them to be outnumbered.
The people have come to the city and shouted in unison: "We want to see the general!"
Wu Yi went down to the city with a sword, and shouted sharply: "What do you want to do?"
An old man walked up and bowed and said: "The general will have a misunderstanding. When the Han army entered the city, they did not commit any crimes with Minqiu. Now the enemy outside the city claims to have three days of military operations. If the city is broken, I will wait. It's inevitable to die, it's better to fight, please give me your permission!"
When the people's support is available, Wu Yi was very relieved, and said, "Thank you folks, but let Wu have a breath, never let the enemy take a step on the top of the city! It's just that there is a lack of arrows in the city, so why?"
The old man frowned and said, "Arrows are easy to handle. The people in the city have hunting bows that can still be used. Stones and wood can only be demolished. The only thing is that most of the low huts in the city are demolished. Even if they are demolished, they are not enough. "
Woke up the dreamer with a single word, Wu Yi suddenly brightened his eyes and said loudly: "Quickly, go to tear down the old palace, and bring all the stones and wood to the city!"
The palace is the most magnificent building in Guishan City. I don't know how many big wooden boulders were spent. Now that Dawan has been subjugated, the palace is naturally abandoned. Someone once suggested that it be converted into Liu Xin's palace, but Liu Xin categorically rejected it. In order to avoid taboos, no officials dared to use this as a mansion, and the huge palace was always empty. At the critical juncture, Wu Yi didn't have time to ask for instructions and ordered the demolition of the palace on his own initiative. In fact, he was secretly prepared to be punished.
The problem of the shortage of arrowheads was solved, and with the help of the people in the city, the soldiers who were originally responsible for the task of transporting supplies were also liberated, and they were thrown into the battle to defend the city. The Guishuang army in the city couldn't raise its head.
Hubishjiadun shouted: "Chong me! Chong me! The city is making the final struggle, and they won't be able to support it for long!"
The soldiers under him hold the same thoughts as him, expecting that the arrows shot, the rolling logs, and the rocks thrown in the city are the last batch, and then they can successfully attack the city head, enjoy the beauties in the city, and scavenge. The property in the city is gone.
There are ten unsatisfactory things in the world. They attacked until late at night, and the arrows in the city did not decrease. If you look carefully, you will find that many of the rolling logs and stones thrown down from the city are carved with exquisite patterns.
After four or five hours of this fortified battle, Guishan City still stood still, and Guishuang's army had killed more than 20,000 people, and the rest were exhausted, and the offensive was not as violent as it was at the beginning. Hubiseka became a little bit irritated, waving his horsewhip and lashing hard at the soldiers who were gradually retreating, forcing them to continue to advance.
In fact, the soldiers and civilians on the front of the city were also exhausted. Fortunately, Wu Yi implemented a rotation system, so that everyone can get a chance to rest properly, so that they can always maintain a strong combat effectiveness. However, if they continue to attack at the risk of life like Hubi Sejia, I am afraid that in a long time, they will eventually be allowed to climb to the top of the city.
At this time, the palace had already been demolished almost, and the people had begun to demolish the inner wall of Guishan City. In other words, as long as Guishuang's army breaks through the outer city, Guishan City will face a dangerous situation. At that time, even if the Han army is brave, the people in the city will inevitably suffer the fate of slaughter.
