As soon as the Rouran cavalry moved from the territory to Jiayuguan, Loulan and other countries received the news. Everyone understood that the battle to determine the fate of the Western Region was about to begin, and where should the six countries of the Western Region go? Even Mo Xing and others were confused.
Haven't made up my mind yet.
It’s still the Loulan Palace, it’s still Mo Xing, the lord of Loulan Kingdom, Aliushu, the lord of Hotan Kingdom, Ban Mu, the lord of Rouzhi Kingdom, Ting Hecun, the lord of Yerqiang Kingdom, Duqi, the lord of Lujia Kingdom, Fubo, the lord of Pengche Kingdom, and Loulan.
The national teacher Zheshan Songbang.
Everyone's heart is cold now, even Zheshan Songbang, who is known as the most wise man in the Western Regions. They are very clear about the power of Sashan and Rouran. Back then, just one person's strength required thirty people from the Western Regions.
The six countries resisted with all their strength. But now, the two parties have joined forces unprecedentedly, and the Western Region has been divided internally. Why should they still fight against each other?
However, if the Six Kingdoms of the Western Regions were lucky at the beginning, now they have completely given up. The territory is only such a large area, and with the nature of Sashan and Rouran, they will definitely not let themselves and others go. Moreover.
, it is too late to join the other party now.
"Fight! Not for the Loop, just for ourselves!" Mo Xing said through gritted teeth.
Ban Mu and others all nodded in agreement. If they just stood by and watched, it goes without saying that when Jiayuguan is breached, the country will be destroyed. In the ancient territory of the Western Regions, countless city-states and small countries have been born, but what can really be said is that the country will be destroyed.
There are not many that have been passed down for hundreds of years, and many small countries are like meteors passing by, fleeting. After they were exterminated, there is no evidence of their existence even from textual biographies. If you don’t try hard, I’m afraid
The six countries in the Western Region will soon follow in their footsteps.
The eyes of the six kings turned to Zheshan Songbang's face. Zheshan Songbang frowned and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Dear kings, war is our only choice, otherwise we will have to be defeated one by one.
Now, we are at a dead end with the Hetao. But have you ever thought about how we should fight this battle?"
Aliushu patted his head and said awkwardly: "National Master, just leave the war to us, but how to arrange it depends on you."
Although the scene was a bit embarrassing, everyone was still amused by Aliusu's words. Aliusu is a typical warrior. Although his mind is not clear, he is still honest and upright. His biggest shortcoming or advantage is that
Despite everything, Loulan was always their leader in his heart, so no matter what happened, he stood firmly by Mo Xing's side. It was precisely because of this that Hotan's glory was finally achieved.
Zheshan Songbang half-squinted his eyes and suddenly asked in a deep voice: "Everyone, I would like to ask first, in your hearts, which is more important, the people, the country, or the country, cities, gold, silver and jewelry?"
Everyone was stunned, and Mo Xing said: "National Master, do you need to say this? Of course our people and the country are important. As long as there are still people, the inheritance of our national destiny will not be interrupted, and our cultural beliefs will remain the same.
Last forever. As for gold, silver, and jewels, what use are they even if the people and the country are gone?"
Zheshan Songbang's expression did not change at all. He continued to ask: "So, if we remain neutral, what consequences will we have?"
Mo Xing continued to answer: "The gold, silver and jewelry we have accumulated over the past century will be snatched away by them, our land will be divided by them, and all our people, including ourselves, will become their slaves. Our religious beliefs will be
Become a passing cloud."
This is a common practice in the Western Regions and the Central Continent. Once a country is defeated, there will be no room for recovery.
Zheshan Songbang nodded, suddenly smiled and said: "Everyone, actually we have no way out. Unless we donate all our property, land and people, the other side will never let us go. But even so, we
Their people will also become slaves, and our own status is only slightly better than theirs. As kings, we have the obligation to protect our people. If this is really the case, then who of you will still have the face to survive?
In this world?"
Mo Xing and others were silent. They naturally understood what Zheshan Songbang meant. As a king, while enjoying rights, he also shoulders the responsibility of protecting the happy life of his people. If he cannot even protect his people, then
It can only be said to be a shame for a king. The Western Region is a country that respects warriors. Their bodies are filled with the blood of kings and the pride of warriors. They would rather die on the battlefield than live in such humiliation.
Du Qi smiled bitterly and said: "Master, if you have any questions, just say it directly. Since we are sitting here today, we have no way out."
Zheshan Songbang smiled, and the wrinkles on his face suddenly became thinner: "I just want to remind you of the consequences of the matter. Lord Duqi is right, we have no way out. As early as ten days ago,
We have already ordered the entire country to be on alert, which greatly facilitates our actions."
After a pause, Zheshan Songbang took out the map of the Western Regions from the room, pointed at the map and said: "Please see, our Western Regions are dominated by city-states, Hotan, Rouzhi and our Rouran are close together in the shape of "pin", while Lujia
, Yeerqiang and the Three Kingdoms of Caravans are on the edge of the Nianqing Mountains. If we fall out with the Sashan coalition, the other side will definitely divide their forces into two groups, attack the Nianqing Mountains all the way, and fight back to suppress our three countries. The total population of the Three Kingdoms of Caravans is no more than
Twenty-five thousand, the strength is about 8,000. Even if we rely on the geographical advantage, we are no match for the other side. Although our three countries have a strength of 150,000, they are stationed in three cities respectively, and they are easily defeated by each other."
Ban Mu said doubtfully: "What the National Advisor means is that we join forces together?"
Zheshan Songbang smiled slightly: "The joint army is a joint army, but it is not the same place. From our Loulan City to the Nianqing Mountains, the distance is at least one hundred and fifty miles, and the distance between our three countries is about fifty miles.
Therefore, I suggest that we divide our forces into two groups. The three kingdoms of Caravan, Lujia and Yerqiang, you are originally on the edge of the Nianqing Mountains. After crossing the Nianqing Mountains, you will reach the southern city wall of Jiayuguan. You can directly cross the Nianqing Mountains from here.
.Jiayuguan is currently short of troops. As long as you explain your intention of coming, the other party will definitely warmly accept you."
The Nianqing Mountains are tall and majestic, and they are the antenna barrier to the west of the Bloody Plateau. However, for the Lujia Three Kingdoms who were born and raised here, it is not completely insurmountable. As long as you abandon all the luggage and materials, climb the mountain like shoes.
They didn't have much difficulty on the flat ground.
Ting Hecun said worriedly: "The Imperial Guards, Kuqa and others have joined forces to attack Jiayuguan. We belong to the same lineage of the Western Regions. Will the other side treat us as spies and kill us directly?"
Zheshan Songbang shook his head: "No. The general guard of Jiayuguan, Chunjian Shang, is very smart. Besides, when you bring the people of the whole country there, they will never believe that you are spies."
"People all over the country?" Fu Bo asked.
"That's right. Once we declare war, the other side will definitely not let us go. If we don't evacuate all the people, they will definitely be massacred by the other side. The Nianqing Mountains are tall and steep, but you were born and raised here, as long as you abandon all the soft things,
It's not that difficult when you think about it." Zheshan Songbang's smile faded: "And we, the Three Kingdoms, will gather all the people in Loulan City to fight each other to the death!"
Ah Liushu opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything. Among the Three Kingdoms, Loulan City has the largest area and the most complete city defenses. The total number of people in the Three Kingdoms is as high as six to seven million, and his capital cannot accommodate so many people. Besides,
, I don’t have that much food and strategic reserves here. As the leader of the Eastern Alliance of the Western Region, Loulan is naturally rich and powerful. At least, the food and other strategic materials in the city can last for more than a year. But the thought of abandoning his own
In the capital, Aliusu was still a little reluctant to leave.
Ban Mu understood Ah Liushu's feelings very well, but he just patted Ah Liushu heavily on the shoulder and said: "Aliusu, they all say that they can't let go of their children and can't trap the wolf. The situation is critical now. If the strong man doesn't cut off his wrist, we won't even have a trace.
No chance of survival."
Ah Liushu smiled bitterly, but the expression on his face was still painful.
Zheshan Songbang ignored Aliushu's reluctance and said in a deep voice: "Three of you, please report all the troops you can provide."
"Loulan, the total strength is one hundred thousand. There are 40,000 cavalry, 15,000 camel soldiers, 40,000 infantry, and 5,000 palace guards."
"Hotian, the total strength is thirty-two thousand. There are twenty thousand cavalry, ten thousand infantry, and two thousand palace guards."
"Meat branch, total strength is 23,000. Cavalry is 1,500, infantry is 7,000, and palace guard is 1,000."
"Okay! After the meeting is over, you all will return to your capitals immediately. The Three Kingdoms in Caravan abandoned all their belongings and immediately crossed the Nianqing Mountains and entered Jiayuguan. Hotan and Rouzhi immediately gathered all their people in our capital of Rouran.
There is no need to carry food. The food in our city is enough to support 600,000 people for a year." Zheshan Songbang said with determination: "There is a saying in China, strike first to gain strength, strike later to suffer disaster. Leave the infantry to defend the city.
, withdraw all 75,000 cavalry, and we will let the Sashan coalition try the power of our Western Region warriors!"
Zheshan Songbang is worthy of being the wisest man in the Western Regions. He knows very well that even if the Three Kingdoms gather all their people and soldiers in Loulan City, as long as they do not take the initiative to attack, the coalition forces of Sashan and Rouran will definitely not be able to do so after considering the pros and cons.
will come to attack themselves. At that time, it will be an outcome of defeating them one by one. This will not only be detrimental to the defenders of the Hetao in Jiayuguan, but also to the six countries of Loulan.
Since you have done the first grade of junior high school, you might as well do the fifteenth grade as well. If Hetao is defeated, the six countries in the Western Region will definitely be destroyed. In this case, it is better to go all out and fight with the opponent.
The decisive battle in Loulan, after Hetao swept across the world, was given a nice name, the Battle of Nirvana. In order to protect their own cultural people and the country, the kings of the six countries in the Western Regions and the first wise man in the Western Regions were recited everywhere by the wandering swordsmen.
Zheshan Songbang, with their fearless spirit and tenacious will, still stood up when faced with a desperate situation, and launched a half-month-long battle with the Sashan coalition forces that had an absolute advantage.
The hilarious Zheshan Songbang, the resolute and tenacious Lord of Loulan Kingdom Mo Xing, the outspoken and bold Lord of Hotan Kingdom Ah Liushu, the silent and restrained Lord of Rouzhi Ban Mu, the inarticulate Lord of Caravan Kingdom Fu Bo, are all extremely brave.
Fubo, the lord of Lujia Kingdom, and Ting Hecun, the lord of Yeerqiang Kingdom who always laughed, eventually became immortal legends in the Western Regions.
It was precisely because of this battle that the six countries in the Western Regions finally gained the friendship of Hetao. After the darkest period before dawn, they were like phoenixes rising from the fire, reshaping what their ancestors had never created.
of brilliance.
The wind outside the Great Wall stirs up chaos,
The beacon fire at the border shook Jiuyou.
See the wolf and the ranger first,
I also saw the golden eagle fighting against the Western chieftain.
The rocks are as tall as mountains,
The unicorn moves tragically and turns pale yellow.
The bravery of the red snake shakes the mountains and rivers,
The phoenix dance's fame will remain in history.
A man should shoulder his ambition,
Conquer the world and become a prince.
Wait until the day when China is unified,
Return to hometown and drink celebratory wine again.
On August 25, 3190 in the Chinese Calendar, the day after Guanying was assassinated, the great battle that affected the history of the entire continent finally broke out. In the following years, the entire continent was immersed in continuous wars.
It was just dawn, and the sound of killing was already loud at the Jiayuguan Pass. Countless Sashan soldiers were either pushing siege vehicles or carrying sandbags and rushed towards the front of the Jiayuguan Pass. After recuperating for almost a month, the Sashan coalition finally attacked the Jiayuguan Pass.
Jiayuguan launched an unprecedented fierce attack.
Rouran's cavalry galloped under the pass, and suddenly arrows rained down on the towers of Jiayuguan. As expected of a nation on the grassland, even when they were running fast, their arrows were still quite powerful, and many of them were
The Hetao soldiers were caught off guard and were directly nailed to the tower by arrows falling from the air.
The Sashan infantry was naturally unwilling to lag behind. Taking advantage of the moment when the Hetao soldiers on the tower were suppressed, they rushed towards the moat with sandbags on their backs. The moat in front of Jiayuguan was five feet wide and at least one foot deep, and the bottom of the moat was inserted into
It is full of sharpened wooden stakes and sharp iron nails. If the moat is not filled in, it will be impossible for the enemy forces outside the city to conquer Jiayuguan.
Although Chunjian Shang had speculated that Sashan and the Western Regions Allied Forces might launch a fierce attack on Jiayuguan, he did not expect that the offensive would be so fierce. Not only Sashan and the Western Regions Allied Forces, but also Lian Yi
Rouran, who was starting to die down, all joined in to join in the fun.
Chun Jian Shang's face was extremely solemn. There were at least 350,000 coalition troops under his command, but he only had 50,000 Golden Eagle Legion soldiers in his hands, and 10,000 of them were cavalry. He had already lit up the smoke and told Mu Shan to come quickly.
Support, all the 50,000 soldiers of the Mushan tribe are infantry. It will take at least a day to reach the battlefield. But counting the time, it should be here now, right?
"Legion Commander, General Long requested to go to war!" Chunjian Shang was watching the offensive of the Sashan coalition attentively when a soldier came forward and said. Followed by Long Zheng in full armor.
Chun Jian Shang was furious. He turned around and cursed Long Zheng: "Asshole! At what time are you still thinking about showing off! You don't even think about it. There are at least 150,000 enemy cavalry under control.
If you go out with 10,000 cavalry, it won't be enough for the opponent to charge for one round! Besides, do you want to come back after you go out? What if the opponent takes advantage of your return to attack the city on all fronts?"
It was the first time Long Zheng saw Chun Jian Shang getting so angry, and he was immediately frightened by Chun Jian Shang's ferocious expression. Only then did he remember that the middle-aged general in front of him was his direct superior.
I think that when he followed Xue Sha and others across the Great Wall, he was just a small Qianqi Colonel. And the other party was able to survive among thousands of soldiers and horses during the Battle of Hukou, which was obviously not a fuel-efficient one.
However, Chun Jian Shang had never been angry with him at all. Because of this, he was also confused by his appearance. Looking at the angry Chun Jian Shang in front of him, Long Zheng had no doubt that if he
If you force yourself to fight, you might actually be killed by your opponent on the battlefield.
Long Zheng said nonchalantly: "Legion Commander, I just saw that the brothers were all very busy, but my ten thousand cavalry could only stay in the military camp. The brothers were very anxious, so they came here to ask.
.”
Chun Jian Shang also realized that he had lost his composure, so he walked down the steps and said: "General Long, I understand your desire for war. However, the enemy troops are now heavily guarded. If you can't take them by surprise, you will definitely suffer heavy losses.
.Don’t worry, the other side is not just showing off by putting on such a big show."
Long Zheng quickly retreated. Chun Jian Shang saw this and turned his gaze downwards again.
Chunjian Shang suddenly felt a little strange. It stands to reason that Sashan should be eager to attack the key point by putting up such a big battle, but the opponent's offensive was not very fierce, and it was not even as good as the Western Region Allied Forces led by Kuqa.
