On September 15th, the third year of Yanhe, 80 miles northwest of Guishan City.

After more than ten days of march, the vanguard of the Wusun cavalry finally arrived here, and then according to the order, he hid in the mountain gorge to meet the follow-up troops.

Sixteenth, Wusun Kunmowengguimi personally arrived at his headquarters.

On the 17th, thousands of cavalrymen of Kangju arrived under the leadership of Deputy Wang Tuzhi.

Eighteenth and Nineteenth, the main forces of the Wusun cavalry arrived one after another.

At this point, the Wusun people formed an assault cluster with at least 20,000 combatable cavalry in the northwest of Guishan City.

Weng Guimi was full of passion, so he climbed up the mountains and looked at Guishan City in the distance.

Outside of sight, in the distance of the mountains, the outline of Guishan City is faintly visible and looming.

Looking at the distant majestic city, Weng Guimi turned around and asked Yuan Anmi, who had been to Guishan City: "Gridang, tell me what are the characteristics of this Guishan City?"

"Kunmo..." Yuan Anmi said: "In my opinion, Guishan City is majestic and large-scale, and cannot be as strong as the Han city! "

He remembered what he saw when he arrived at Guishan City as an envoy of the Han emperor several years ago.

It was a huge and sturdy city, and the urban structure was different from Seoul and the Western Regions city-state, and it was also significantly different from other fortresses in Dayuan.

Among them, the most obvious and most impressive thing was the unique defense system of the heroic city!

"Guishan City is several feet high, with a circumference of twenty or thirty miles. The wall is made of bluestone, which is thick and strong. The inner side of the city wall is divided into two upper and lower layers. The upper layer is lined with archers and infantrymen, and the lower layer is opened with holes in the city wall, which are equipped with weapons like Han crossbows... With the power of the Huns, it is probably difficult to capture it easily!" Yuan Anmi said with great emotion: "Therefore, General Ershi of the Han army personally led tens of thousands of elite Han army, and was besieged for several months but could not get out!"

"If I were the Dayuan garrison, I would not have let the Huns know that I was on the lower floor of the city wall and had shooting holes, which could fire heavy crossbow arrows!"

Weng Guimi nodded and said, "No wonder Wan Wang Chanfeng dared to boast that even if the Guishan defenders had only 10,000, they could still support the siege of 100,000 enemy troops for a year! This is indeed some tricks!"

"Since Guishan City is solid, we might as well wait until the horsepower is restored, we have enough energy and the time is ripe, and then we will discuss the level with the Huns!"

"Your will!" Yuan Anmi bowed deeply.

"Send Outu Knights!" Weng Guimi ordered: "Sweep the thirty miles near our army, and we must not let the Huns discover what our army has arrived!"

"Your will!" Yuan Anmi left with his order.

……………………………………

The situation in Guishan City has changed tremendously now.

A few days ago, someone quietly took advantage of the night to report reinforcements to the city.

The Dayuan nobles who could not bear it against Wan Wang Yincai launched a coup, rushed into the palace, and deposed Yincai effortlessly and put him under house arrest.

Then, these Dayuan nobles supported the late Wanwang Chanfeng's son Xianwu as the regent, and at the same time, they respected Suyin, a proton who was far away in Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, as the king.

After doing this, the Dayuan nobles who were originally in a mess and were in power, suddenly found their backbone and cheered up.

Under the command of his deputy king Qian Ji, they reorganized the city guarding force.

Faced with the increasingly urgent siege of the Huns, Qian Ji directly used the invincible golden bullet magic skill!

He announced that everyone who is willing to go up to defend the city can receive three pounds of wheat and one pound of horse meat every day; all the military pay of all the regular army will be doubled, and at the same time, he also announced that anyone, no matter who can kill an enemy, can come to him to receive a reward of gold coins!

In order to win the trust of others, the deputy king moved out the vault where Yin Cai was hidden in the palace.

The wealth accumulated by the Dayuan Kingdom over hundreds of years is as rich as a mountain, and hundreds of thousands of gold coins shine in the sun.

This immediately boosted the defenders and stimulated morale.

There must be a brave man under heavy rewards!

So even slaves began to register voluntarily and were willing to participate in defense.

The entire city, both men, women, young and old, mobilized to participate in various war activities.

The nobles spared no effort to publicize the terror, greed, cruelty and tyranny of the enemies outside the city to every inhabitant.

This made the residents of the city convinced that once the enemy entered the city, everyone, including slaves, civilians, and merchants, would be spared!

Of course, in order to give people hope, the nobles also ensured that reinforcements had arrived and that they could rescue the siege by just a few days.

Under this circumstance, the low morale in Guishan City quickly increased.

The defense system of the entire city immediately started to operate efficiently.

So, on the same day, the Shule army, who was coming in a fierce manner and wanted to climb the city, gave a head-on blow!

The Shule people left at least a thousand bodies under the city of Guishan and retreated in a hurry.

This created the biggest loss of the Huns' siege troops since the siege!

Li Ling witnessed the entire process of the defeat of Shule's army with his own eyes.

"Wan Zhixian has indeed given his descendants!" Li Ling looked at the hole that suddenly opened in the upper middle and upper part of the city wall and the heavy crossbow arrow that shot out from it with a range of up to 200 steps, and couldn't help but sigh: "The Shule people were defeated!"

"Left General!" Li Ling ordered Wang Yuan beside him: "You go and reward Shule people in person and tell Shule that they have made great contributions this time!"

It is undoubtedly worth Li Ling to be able to exchange the life of Shule people to the Dayuan people's trump card.

In this way, his elite troops will be prepared and will not easily fall into the range of the opponent's heavy crossbow arrows.

"Also..." Li Ling said again: "Tell Captain Che and continue bombarding me!"

"No!" Wang Yuan took the order and left.

Li Ling turned around and turned his gaze to the distance.

"How many Outu cavalry sent out?" Li Ling asked.

"Report to your lord, you will eventually send 300 most experienced Outu knights in the northwest, southwest and southeast directions according to your order. They will search for two hundred miles in each direction along the medicine and kill water and mountains, and will immediately repay them whenever there is any situation!" A middle-aged general said: "But, it has not yet received any reward..."

Li Ling nodded, thought for a while, and asked, "So far, is there a Knight of Outu not returning information at normal frequency?!"

The Huns were a nation on horseback and attached great importance to searching areas, detecting enemy situations, and establishing cordons.

As early as the Maodun era a hundred years ago, the Xiongnu established the Outuo king in the royal court, and served as the Seng clan, responsible for the tasks of searching, alerting and expulsion.

When Zhao Xin, Wei Lu, Li Ling and others surrendered to the Huns one after another, they brought the Han Dynasty's advanced scout cavalry construction system and search and return system.

The search range, detection and concealment capabilities of the Outu cavalry (scout) have greatly increased!

After all, this is the top priority that concerns life and death!

In the past decades of war, the only military group that the Huns could compare with the Han army was the Outu Knights.

In every battle between Han and Hun, these elite Huns used their lives to investigate the route and speed of the Han army, thus providing enough early warning time for their main force.

Unfortunately, the Huns are now divided, and the Outu cavalry, who rely on the existence of the royal court, scattered everywhere.

Li Ling had only hundreds of elite Outu Knights in his hands, and the rest were novices with insufficient training and experience, so they might not be reliable.

Therefore, Li Ling had to pay attention to various details at all times to determine that the search website of the Outu Cavalry has no missing blind spots or neglected crucial news.

"Lord..." The middle-aged general thought for a while and said, "It seems that there are more than a dozen Outu knights in the southwest who have not sent back the news for two days..."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Li Ling immediately interrupted the other party and asked, "Where did they lose the news? According to the original plan, where should they be in now?"

After hearing this, the latter said timidly: "My...I... At first I thought they were just lost and would be able to come back soon... I didn't expect that the news had been coming back for two days..."

"Don't explain!" Li Ling looked southwest and suddenly said: "You will lead people immediately and search in the direction where these Outu cavalry disappeared. We will gather other Outu cavalry in this direction and search the grasslands at the southwest border with Wusun where medicine kills water. If you find a large number of horse hoof prints, you don't have to move forward. Come back and tell me immediately!"

In Li Ling's view, the intervention and breakup of the Wusun people is not possible, but an inevitable result!

During the few months he was in the private channel, he thought about it carefully and thought about it.

So he knew that the strategy of General Ying Yang in Juyan was summarized in an idiom, which was to use a knife to kill people!

Therefore, all parties in the Huns' civil war could see the shadow of the Han people.

Especially on his side, in order to make him fight more tragic with the troops in Mobei, even the soldiers that were not sold in the past were now open for supply as long as they were given sufficient prices. No Han Dynasty people would not sell them.

In Mobei, I believe the other three Shanyu are similar, and they have received corresponding support from the Han people.

For that person, the more the Huns died, the better!

But all parties are in the situation and cannot help but let them knead and manipulate.

In the Western Regions, he even planned to use Wusun and him to kill Dayuan, which disobeyed him.

Now, I am afraid that it will turn around and want to use Wusun and other forces to kill his Huns.

What made Li Ling frightened was that all the relevant parties were in the situation and were unable to help themselves and could only be forced to act according to his intentions and were unwilling to go the direction he arranged!

Take that Wusun for example.

Li Ling could guess the thoughts of the monarch and ministers of Wusun, and also understood that their inner fears were made if the Huns destroyed Dayuan, their next target would be Wusun.

Because he wanted to fight a civil war, compete for the position of the Shanyu, and even more importantly, he wanted to gain greater and more strategic room for his power.

To the south is the huge and powerful Han Dynasty, and to the west is the towering and steep Palacio.

The only direction that can effectively expand is Dayuan and Wusun.

Since Dayuan was destroyed, Wusun could not be avoided.

The Wusun people knew the truth that the lips were gone and the teeth were cold.

On the other hand, for Wusun, if you swallow up all Dayuan, you can get an excellent strategic position in the Western Regions. You can compete for the Western Regions and compete in the Tianshan Mountains. If you retreat, you can gain the advantage of silk. With the fertile land and city of Dayuan, you can rest and recuperate and wait for the changes of the times, you can rule the world sooner or later.

Li Ling understood this principle, and his ministers and nobles also understood it.
