The more than 30,000 string-controllers are basically all the young men of the Wusun clan. After all, they have surrendered to the Yuezhi people for so many years. How could the Yuezhi people watch the Wusun people grow? The population on the prairie is
It's strength, it's the source of troops.
The Wusun clan can maintain a population of nearly 60,000 to 70,000, which is the limit that the Yuezhi people can tolerate. Even the Yuezhi people, who are just inferior to the slave society, know how to allow others to sleep soundly on the side of the bed.
The Wusun cavalry met the infantry of the Jiuyuan Army who happened to be mopping up by the Jiuyuan Army. Thirty thousand against thirty thousand, but the result was one-sided. Facing the pouring rain of crossbow arrows from the Jiuyuan Army, it was difficult to lead more than 30,000 soldiers.
The Wusun cavalry did not even get fifty steps in front of the Jiuyuan Army before they collapsed. They panicked and abandoned thousands of corpses, turned their horses and fled.
Regarding this short fighting that occurred west of Jiuyuan, the Jiuyuan Army just reported to the Ministry of War as usual. However, the targets of the fighting were changed from the Wusun people to the Huns.
After all, there is really not much difference between the Wusun and the Huns just from the surface. The Ministry of War also did not take this matter to heart, and just routinely presented the results to the emperor's study. Because at that time,
It was the time when Mao Dun went south to Langjuxu Mountain to fight with Hu Zhong.
A battle in which the incoming cavalry fled without losing a single soldier of the Jiuyuan Army really did not attract enough attention from the Qin Dynasty. Of course, if the officials of the Great Qin War Department and the soldiers of the Jiuyuan Army had what they thought in their hearts.
To be sure, he would vomit three liters of blood until he vomited blood until he died.
After leading more than 20,000 remnant soldiers back to his tribe, he finally understood that compared with the great Qin who fled after defeating the Huns who almost wiped out the Yue clan, he was just like a small bird.
Ants, whenever you are in a bad mood, you can just stretch your fingers and crush the Wusun clan to nothing.
Of the thirty-six strategies, walking is naturally the best strategy.
Nan Tuomi traveled all the way west and did not go in the direction in which the Yuezhi people retreated. If he continued to walk in the direction in which the Yuezhi people retreated, it would be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, right? So the Wusun people arrived at Puchanghai.
At first, with the arrival of tens of thousands of Wusun people, the Loulan Kingdom and the more than ten surrounding small countries such as Huhu and Zihe were faced with formidable enemies. Fortunately, although the countries in the Western Regions were small in size and had few people, they could not withstand the large number of countries.
Isn't it? The armies of nearly twenty countries were hastily assembled, with only 30,000 soldiers at full strength, preparing for a big battle with the Wusun people to protect the land where the people of the Western Regions have lived for generations.
Nan Dou Mi was not impulsive this time, nor did he slack off because of the small number of soldiers in the Western Regions. Instead, he tactfully expressed his willingness to offer sacrifices in exchange for the Wusun clan's temporary residence in Puchanghai.
Not surprisingly, this request was naturally opposed by the Loulan countries surrounding Puchanghai.
In the end, out of desperation, Nan Dou Mi chose Loulan, the largest country on the coast of Puchang, as his target. King Loulan was naturally interested in Nan Dou Mi's offer, but he did not immediately agree.
There are tens of thousands of Wusun people, and the people who control strings can compete with the coalition forces of more than 20 countries in the Western Regions. King Loulan knows very well that it is impossible to suppress the Wusun people by his own family alone. And the Wusun people
Why is it so honest? It is obviously because the coalition forces of more than 20 countries and the other 40 or so small countries behind the more than 20 countries exist.
Naturally, there were fights between the various small countries in the Western Regions, but this fight was just like the feudal lords fighting for hegemony during the Warring States Period. Although Qin, Chu, Yan and Zhao and other countries fought fiercely with each other, they all adopted an attitude of killing the Huns without exception.
The reason for such a situation is, firstly, because the Huns plundered every country, and secondly, naturally, because all the vassal states regarded the land of China as their own. They all thought that one day they could unify the world. Since it is their own
, so no matter how hard your family members fight life and death, you can’t let outsiders get involved, right?
In line with the principle of equal benefit, tens of thousands of Wusun people were quickly divided up by more than 20 countries. The Loulan Kingdom, as the suzerain country that Nan Douli wanted to seek refuge in, naturally gained the most.
More than 30,000 people became citizens of Loulan Kingdom.
But this time, inciting King Loulan to go south to plunder the Xiongnu slaves in Bijia City was naturally something that was hard to do. Of course, what King Loulan was talking about was not the Great Qin City, but a small tribe with tens of thousands of people.
A small tribe of Xiongnu slaves is building a city on the edge of Puchang Sea.
On one side were tens of thousands of Xiongnu slaves, and on the other side was a small town on the edge of Puchang Sea, which was only three hundred miles away from Loulan City. It was only natural that Prince Loulan led two thousand Loulan soldiers to send troops to Bijia City.
The interests are still shared and the risks are shared. At this time, more than 20 countries showed amazing coordination. They are still a coalition force. Together with Wusun's 20,000 string control men, there are more than 40,000 people. This is the attack.
Beacon City's main force.
Naturally, it is impossible for each small country in the Western Region to send out all its own troops. After all, there is still a capital to defend, right? But more than half of the casualties have directly shaken the foundation of more than twenty countries around Puchanghai.
If the Wusun people make any moves at this time, then the countries in the Western Regions will not have enough troops to resist the Wusun people's invasion. This is why Xunhu immediately asked the Wusun people how many casualties they had after hearing that more than half of the coalition's casualties were
Reason.
"Back to your highness, I don't know whether the Wusun people were injured or not. It's just, it's just..." At this point, the middle-aged guard hesitated and said nothing.
"It's just something, tell me quickly!"
"My subordinates saw that the Wusun people who were hunting Hu Mi had been raiding the rear and had not participated in the attack!"
Xun suddenly heard these words and looked back at Bijia City, who was still shouting to kill Zhentian for a while, and suddenly howled: "Retreat the troops! Quickly withdraw the troops and return home!"
The guard's words seemed to be enough to confirm his most worrying guess.
As the eldest prince of the Loulan people, Xun Hu is not very talented, but he is definitely not a mediocre person.
Lie Hu Mi said that he could break through the city in an hour and share the slaves, but it turned out that it took a whole day, and the failure to capture Bijia City made Xun suddenly begin to suspect that this city was not a self-built city of a small tribe at all.
After all, even if the soldiers of the Loulan Kingdom, who are the strongest and most well-armed around Puchanghai, use all the strength of the country to defend Loulan City, which has high walls and strong walls, it is absolutely impossible for them to face the siege of nearly 50,000 troops for a whole day.
Instead of the city being destroyed.
What's more, the 50,000-strong army is attacking a small city that has just begun to take shape, with walls no more than ten feet high. There will definitely not be too many soldiers defending the city, Xunhu is certain of this.
Defending a small city with only a few thousand soldiers, and possessing more sophisticated weapons than the other countries in the Western Regions, could withstand the continuous attacks of nearly 50,000 string-controllers for seven or eight hours. This is what an ordinary small tribe can do.
Did you arrive?
If coupled with the fact that Liehu Mi, who was commanding the battle, left all the Wusun people behind and took the lives of the coalition forces to fill the city, Xunhu would have been really stupid if he didn't know that the Wusun people had ulterior motives.
Unfortunately, Xun suddenly realized that it was a little late! (To be continued)
