The situation was not optimistic, Wu Yi quietly called two confidant captains and asked them to select a thousand elite soldiers. Once the city was broken, no matter what, they had to make a bloody road to protect the people in the city and retreat to Kangju.
Over the years, with Liu Xin's repeated indoctrination, the people's idea of being greater than the sky has gradually been accepted by civil and military officials. The people of Guishan City are willing to help the Han army to defend the city, indicating that they have recognized their status as Han subjects, and getting the support of these people is more important than keeping a city. Wu Yi had already planned to coexist and die with Guishan City, to thank Liu Xin for his knowledge, but still wanted to keep these people.
Suddenly, shouts of killing came from outside the city, and there was cheers on the city. Some soldiers rushed over and reported loudly: "General, reinforcements are here!"
Wu Yi was overjoyed. He climbed up to the top of the city in two steps in three steps. The Guishuang army that was besieged the city was retreating steadily. The clothes were different, it was the 30,000 old army led by brothers Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan.
Even though these old soldiers are all infantry, and they are full of veteran oil, but the critical moment is really unambiguous. They marched overnight, and they walked more than two hundred miles with a pair of footboards, and then went into battle without taking a break.
When conscripting the old army, Liu Xin set a condition that he must have been on the battlefield. These people have not only been on the battlefield, many of them have also participated in many battles. In terms of fighting spirit, they are far inferior to the regular army of the Han army, and in terms of combat experience, they do not lose much. It may not be enough to let them fight a tough battle, but they are more active than anyone else in the tailwind battle.
Now is a tailwind. After a day and the fierce fighting in the middle of the night, Guishuang's army was exhausted. It was only frightened by the threats and temptations of Hubiseka, that they have been holding on. The sudden appearance of the reinforcements of the Han army became the last straw that overwhelmed the camels. The Guishuang army suddenly collapsed at the touch of a touch. Hubiska could not restrain it, and was wrapped in the collapsed army and fled to the southeast.
How Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan brothers were willing to let go of this great opportunity to make contributions, each armed with knives and guns, wielded their army to cover up and kill them, chasing them until the dawn, and they were not far from the border of Guishuang. At this time, the old army's undisciplined problem was committed again, and the team was sparsely drawn, and it was dragged by twenty or thirty miles.
However, it was said that Hubiska’s eldest son, Vesudhi, was ordered by his father to guard the frontier. He knew the strength of the Han army and had always opposed intervention in the war between the Qin and Han, but Hubiska refused to listen to his opinions. Vesudeva was concerned about the battle ahead, and ordered her soldiers not to unload their armour, their horses and their saddles, and to wait for them. At the same time, they sent a large number of scouts deep into the territory of Dawan to keep abreast of the fighting situation there.
When the news of Hubiseka's defeat at Guishan City came, Vesudeva hurriedly ordered 20,000 soldiers and horses to meet him. Can't make it for ten miles, I was encountering the defeated soldiers of Hubiseka. Diva Wei Su repeatedly shouted: "Father, go! Give it to the child here!"
Hubiseka received the rescue, he was relieved, and drove around the formation. Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan chased all the way, but they were stopped by Wei Sudi. Seeing that King Guishuang had escaped, Xiahou Dun was furious. He waved his spear behind him and shouted, "Kill!"
After this break, Xiahoudun noticed that there was no movement behind him. He turned his head and saw that there were only a few dozen horses who followed closely, and all hesitated. The rest of the old army soldiers did not know where they had fallen.
Seeing that the momentum was wrong, Xia Houyuan hurriedly said, "Brother, withdraw!"
Xiahoudun took off his helmet abruptly, pinched it to the ground, and said sharply: "If it weren't for your majesty, you and I would have been in a different place, and I should report each other today. Why should I lose my life? Those who retire again, cut! "
After speaking, Xiahou Dun urged his horse and rushed forward with his spear. Xia Houyuan gritted his teeth and swung his sword into Wei Su Dipo's formation. The dozens of old cavalry who followed them refused to move forward. They turned around twice, and they dispersed in a rush.
Seeing that he was the only one to kill, Dima Weisu couldn't help but shouted loudly, "Quickly, surround yourself and capture them alive!"
The Guishuang reinforcements yelled and swarmed up to surround Xiahou Dun and Xia Houyuan in Gai Xin. Xiahoudun had no fear, and joined Xiahouyuan's two horses. With a gun and a knife, he flew up and down, and rushed straight to the direction of Shuaiqi. The flesh and blood flew everywhere he passed, and Guishuang's army was killed and wounded.
Although Wei Sudi saw the two of them brave, she was not worried that they would rush in front of her. With two of them, she wanted to face the 20,000 army. Isn't that a foolish dream? Deve Wesudha confidently, waved her hand, and said: "The order is that no one can use the cold arrow. They must be caught alive! See how long they can last!"
Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were heavily armored with blood. They didn't know how many enemies they had repelled. Gradually, their arms were numb, their marksmanship scattered, but the enemies around them were killing more and more, and it was difficult for them to move forward.
There was a rush of horseshoes on the ground in the distance, and a dark shadow rose from the horizon. The black shadows grew bigger and bigger, connecting into lines, forming a group, and raising a large area of dust. The dust gradually approached, finally revealing his true face of Mount Lu, a large group of black-clothed and black-armored cavalry swept like autumn leaves.
Wei Sudi's subordinates are all infantry, and in order to capture Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan alive, they are no longer in battle. Knowing that he could not resist, he waved his hand and ordered: "Withdraw! Shoot these two people!"
The Guishuang soldiers retreated in a panic. The archers were unprepared, and hurriedly picked up their bows and set up arrows, and the arrows hurriedly shot towards the Xiahou Dun brothers who were surrounded by them. In fact, the two brothers Xiahou Dun were injured in many places, and they were about to be unable to hold on. Suddenly seeing the enemy retreating, their spirits were immediately lifted, and the swords and spears danced together. Although most of the arrows were thrown out of the dust, they were finally strong. No, they hit a few arrows.
At this time, the cavalry of the Han army had already reached the front, and Dipo Wei Su did not dare to stay for a long time and led the army to retreat. The cavalry of the Han army did not chase, and the first two officers came to Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan, and said, "The end will be late, and the two generals are frightened!"
Although Xiahoudun and Xiahouyuan were not the generals of the regular army, they were all wearing partial generals' armor, so these two school lieutenants were very respectful to them. Xiahou Dun arched his hands as he was about to speak, opened his mouth and spouted a mouthful of blood, and swayed down the horse.
Xia Houyuan hurriedly got off his horse to help, his legs softened, but he also fell. The army hurriedly rescued, slowly retreating towards Guishan City. Dipo Wei Su saw the orderly advance and retreat of the Han army from a distance.
This cavalry is well-trained, but from the Fourth Army. When news of Wusun's army storming the Uzbeli fortress came back to Chang'an, Ma Yun summoned the emperor and his ministers to discuss and decided to send more reinforcements. Now, Dahan’s domestic 7th Army is stationed in Jiaozhou and dare not move easily. Dahan Navy has already followed Liu Xin’s order and detoured by sea to Daqin, but I don’t know when it will arrive, leaving the fourth and fifth. The two main armies want to guard the vast territory and cannot be moved lightly.
Someone suggested that recruits should be recruited to replace the two main armies to guard the place, but the two armies were transferred to the front line together, and Ma Yun vetoed it. Recruits are untrained and embarrassed. If the rear is unstable, the front cannot be held for long.
It was Guo Jia who said: "Given Niang Niang, saving soldiers is like fighting fire. The key is a quick word! Thousands of miles away from the Central Plains to the Western Regions, infantry marching slowly, should be mainly cavalry. Each of the five legions dispatched one cavalry to aid the Western Regions."
Now that the northern part of the Han Dynasty is invincible, the pressure on the cavalry is not great. Ma Yun thought about it again and again, and adopted Guo Jia’s opinion. From the Fourth and Fifth Army, 10,000 cavalry were transferred to Uzbeli and Tuluge respectively. Fortress.
When the two cavalry arrived at the two fortresses respectively, Wusun's army had been besieging the fortresses for two days and two nights. Liu Xin devoted countless efforts to these two fortresses and built them into a solid foundation, which can be said to be the strongest castle in the world at that time. Apart from dropping countless corpses, Wusun's army didn't take advantage of it, and they couldn't even touch the head of the fortress.
The fortress was already well-stocked and reinforcements arrived. Zhang Ren immediately made a bold decision to send the support soldiers to rob the camp late at night.
Wusun's army had attacked for two days and two nights. They were exhausted. They slept very deep that night, but unexpectedly, the Han soldiers had their horses wrapped in their hooves and suddenly killed them. The Wusun army was caught off guard, and suffered a complete defeat. More than half of them were killed or injured. They discarded countless grains and grass, and the siege of the fortress of Uzbeli was brought to an end.
The flying pigeon biography used by the Han army can be regarded as the most advanced and convenient communication tool at the time. Although the Wusun army surrounded the two fortresses of Uzbeli and Turugert, the Guishuang army cut off. After the road from the fortress to Kangju, the news ahead was delivered to Zhang Ren in time.
As the main commander guarding the two fortresses, Zhang Ren has the right to make arbitrary decisions, and even the 20,000 cavalry newly sent from Chang'an will be dispatched by him. Zhang Renjie camp succeeded, but refused to give up, and immediately ordered the 4th Army cavalry to attack Dawan to break the siege of Guishan. He also sent Wu Lan led 10,000 cavalry from the Uzbeli Fortress into the territory of Wusun, to join forces with Turugert's defenders inside and outside, and must completely wipe out the Usun army that besieged Turugert Fortress.
The cavalrymen of the Fourth Army who had reinforced Dawan all the way to Guishan City. Only then did they know that Hubisaka had already retreated. Wu Yi was worried that Xiahou Dun and Xiahouyuan who chased and defeated the army would have lost, so he immediately asked the cavalrymen to support him, and he really saved him. The lives of the two brothers.
As soon as the cavalry team led by Wu Lan entered Wusun territory, they received news that the Wusun army that had besieged Turugert had retreated, so they stopped and waited for Zhang Ren's further orders. Zhang Ren refused to retreat and ordered Lei Tong to lead 10,000 cavalry out of the Turugert Fortress and separate from Wu Lan's 10,000 cavalry to pursue the main force of Wusun in one fell swoop. Let Wusun, like Dawan, completely merge into the territory of the Han Dynasty, and completely restore the size of the former Western Regions Protectorate.
The war between Wusun and Guishuang to cut off the back of the Han army was like a farce, staged in a hurry, but ended in a hurry. Just as the road to the west was restored to flow, a major event happened in Hebei.
