There were many Yanqi people, Cheshi people, and other small Western countries in the Gaochang defenders.
With such mixed forces, the generals of Cheshi, Yanqi, were not loyal to them. They still had no combat power to face Ye Long who was about to restore the country. It took Du Yuan a lot of effort to maintain these people not rebelling.
Du Yuan wanted to avenge his father Dewey, but he also understood that these troops under his command could not fight against the outside army at all.
This also caused the scene where the fewer soldiers attacked the more soldiers and had a complete advantage. Du Yuan controlled the army and did his best. Not to mention going out to besiege Ye Long, if Gaochang's city wall was not better than the city walls of other countries in the Western Regions.
Gao has been broken long ago.
But even so, Ye Long continued to attack outside, with a huge momentum, the army in the city was panicked, and the soldiers were rebelling more and more. Even if Gaochang had a lot of troops, he could not defend it.
"I want to see when Du Yuan can last." Ye Long looked at the Gaochang city wall and snorted coldly: "When Du Yuan is pacified, we will lead the army south and attack the Han army alone with Shache.
I see that Liu Xu has no supplies, so how can he fight? Once he dies, the influence of the Han Dynasty in the Western Regions will melt away. I think that Liu Zhang, the King of Shu, should be at ease in the battle in the country."
Ye Long knew very well that his rebellion not only won the Wuji School Commander's headquarters, but also a serious blow to the prestige of the Han army. After this battle, the prestige of the Han army in the Western Regions will fall to the bottom, and Shache will inevitably rise.
And if you control such a large territory, you must be a prominent figure for a while. Your power is not comparable to that of a small military advisor.
"Your Majesty, will Liu Xun really not come back to help?" A general asked, but he was still asking. People from Yanqi Cheshi and other countries were too afraid of Liu Zhang's army.
In one battle, he destroyed 10,000 Cheshi people. In one battle, he destroyed 20,000 Yanqi people. In one battle, he captured Yanqi royal family members, but his own ten thousand people suffered minimal losses. How could such combat power not make those who are hostile to it frightened
.
Although Ye Long is now leading the rebels, their generals are worried about the return of Sichuan Army. They are not afraid of the 10,000 people in Gaochang City, but only fear of the Sichuan Army, even if it is a thousand. The Sichuan Army is in
The two battles with Che Shi and Yanqi have left shadows in the hearts of these people.
Ye Long was a little dissatisfied with the timidity of the general, but Ye Long knew that this was not the time to play with the head coach's temper, so he explained: "Don't worry, General, when I decided to resist the Han Dynasty, I had calculated the time accurately.
At this time, I'm afraid that the Han army was about to reach the Qiema Realm. After a long journey, his soldiers had already been overdrawn. I think it was difficult to fight on the spot, let alone return to the Cheshi. Even if they returned to the Cheshi, they were still a group of people waiting to be slaughtered.
It's a dead dog."
"That's right, Your Majesty said it right." The strange disciple said loudly, saying so loudly, first was to curry favor with Ye Long, second was to comfort other generals, third was to comfort himself. In fact, the strange disciple Gao was also afraid.
When Ao Feng asked him to lead troops, he was afraid that he would not dare to be an enemy of the Sichuan Army. The same was true at this time.
It was just because Ye Long told him that he killed Aofeng, and the remnants of the Cheshi royal family would not let him go, and his life had never been released. In addition, Ye Long carefully analyzed the situation of the war for him, and rebellion was almost certain, and the Sichuan army could not return to aid.
The strange disciple Gaocai followed Ye Long to rebel.
"Okay, continue to attack and strive to take Gaochang before the arrival of the evening." Ye Long made a deep order and returned to the rear to rest, and the generals organized the attack again.
The rebels failed to capture Gaochang before the arrival of the evening, but Gaochang had only one last breath. After five days of attack, the fighting spirit of the troops in Gaochang City was approaching zero, and a large number of soldiers had the idea of escaping.
When evening arrived, Du Yuan and Huanmeng sat opposite each other, both of them silently, while the other generals stood silently, occasionally sighing.
At this time, a Han general came in and said to Du Yuan: "It's a bad general. Achini brought hundreds of people down the wall and surrendered to the enemy. There were countless others who surrendered to the enemy."
"I know." Du Yuan nodded, his expression did not fluctuate much, because he was already numb. When fighting Ye Long during the day, some soldiers should openly surrender to the enemy, let alone this endless night.
At this time, Huanmeng said: "General Chen, take care of the city wall, but the city gates are focused on defending. All the Han army in Gaochang are defended. Suspicious people must not be approached. Otherwise, the army in the city should cooperate with Ye Long inside and outside, and the consequences will be unimaginable.
”
"yes."
After the general left, Huanmeng said to Du Yuan: "General Du, we should consider the retreat path. What should we do after the city is broken? Perhaps General Du Yuan wants to avenge his father and is unwilling to evacuate Gaochang, but..."
"Your Majesty the Queen, don't worry, Du Yuan knows the general idea." Du Yuan waved his hand to Huanmeng and said in a deep voice: "Although I really want to avenge my father, I know the importance. If I can lead the people and the army in the city to turn danger into safety,
Du Yuan is definitely willing to do it, but where can we go now?"
"Cross the Tianshan Mountains." Huanmeng said without hesitation. Obviously she had been preparing like this. "I think it is impossible for General Liu Xu to return to the rescue. After all, no matter how strong the army is, it cannot travel back and forth at such a long distance. Our
The army has no intention of fighting and cannot defeat Ye Long's rebels, so Gaochang will undoubtedly defeat it.
Our retreat can only be to cross the Tianshan Mountains and enter the Tianshan Protectorate Palace. Let me tell General Du the truth, I am in a difficult situation in the southeastern line of Tianshan Mountain at Dongye, and I have any concerns about losing my country at any time, so I am ready to cross the Tianshan Mountains and migrate the country's destiny at any time.
The mountains protrude many northward roads.
The reason why I organized Dongye people to move to Gaochang instead of crossing Tianshan directly was because General Liu Xun had the kindness of saving the country to me Dongye, so I was Huanmeng and Dongye people were unwilling to leave alone. I was willing to
He survived and died with the Wuji School Commander's Division established by the Han Dynasty.
But now we can't defend, we must retreat, General Du Yuan, let's retreat while the night is enough to retain some strength. When the Han army attacks back, we will still have time to come back."
Du Yuan was silent. After a long time, he said firmly: "No, we cannot withdraw."
"Why?" Huanmeng asked with a frown, her delicate brows filled with deep anxiety.
"What should I do with the people of Gaochang? What should I do with the people of Dongye? Most of the people of Gaochang are Han people, and Ye Long will not let these Han people go, because the Cheshi people and the Cheshi royal family will not let them go.
After the rebels entered the city, the people of Gaochang would face a catastrophe.
And you Dongye people, it has been a day or two for you to get into evil with Cheshi. This time General Liu Xi arrived, and you even offended Ye Long to death. The prince was killed in your hands. You captured Cheshi.
Yes, you also helped General Liu attack Yanqi's army.
You have made a lot of enemies. In order to gain the support of the military morale and other Cheshi nobles, Ye Long not only wanted to kill the Han people in Gaochang, but also the Dongye people. Is Her Majesty the Queen at ease?"
"But we waited for death, but we still had to destroy them all. It would be better to retreat now. Although we can't withdraw all of them, we can always withdraw some of them, right? I Huanmeng told the general that as long as I Dongye still have a man and a woman, Dongye will
It won't destroy the country."
"Okay, Her Majesty the Queen will organize them to withdraw." Du Yuan said.
The relaxed look on Huanmeng's face flashed. Looking at Du Yuan's expression, she immediately understood Du Yuan's meaning with her intelligence, and asked with a grim look: "Will the general leave?"
"I can't leave, and all the Han troops in Gaochang cannot leave." Du Yuan said firmly.
"Why?"
"No reason." Du Yuan thought of the black wood forest, which Liu Zhang had specially told him to take care of. At that time, he was by Liu Zhang's side and could fully understand Liu Zhang's importance to that black wood forest.
It has even surpassed the Wuji School Commander's Office.
Although Du Yuan didn't know why Liu Zhang loved these black woods, Liu Zhang was not like a person who was disgusted. On the contrary, he knew the importance and was devoted to government affairs. So, Du Yuan easily thought that the black wood forest that Liu Zhang valued was definitely very important to the Han Dynasty.
effect.
In Du Yuan's view, if Liu Zhang gave him such an important black wood forest to Gaochang for protection, then Gaochang must do his duty. Even if his father dies, he will still protect this black wood forest for his father.
If all of them cross the Tianshan Mountains and retreat, the warning traces outside the Black Wood Forest will soon be discovered by Ye Long. With Ye Long's intelligence, how could he have imagined that these Black Wood Forests will be beneficial to the great man and will definitely destroy or threaten the great man.
Then I am the sinner of the great man.
Therefore, unless you die, Du Yuan will never leave Gaochang.
"General Du Yuan." Huanmeng looked at Du Yuan and was silent for a long time, knowing that he could not persuade Du Yuan, and finally said: "Okay, let the people of Gaochang and my Dongye people retreat on their own. I am willing to
Lead the warriors of Dongye and the Han army in Gaochang to survive and die together."
"His Majesty the Queen wants to stay?" Du Yuan looked at Huanmeng in surprise: "Now Yanqi, Cheshi, and all small countries have either rebelled or are disloyal. Why is Her Majesty the Queen still loyal to the great Han Dynasty?"
"Isn't my sister still in Ye Long's hands?" Huanmeng replied casually, but she felt a little complicated. It was true that her sister was in Ye Long's hands, but if she chose Dong Ye and her sister, as the queen, Huanmeng would definitely choose
The former, according to the principle, I should leave now, but why did I have no idea of leaving at all?
The sky was twilight, a long night, and on that night, a large number of soldiers and generals rebelled against Ye Long. Overnight, Ye Long's army expanded to more than 10,000 people, while the army in Gaochang City was less than 7,000 left.
, many of them are not firm.
There was a huge morale difference, and now the number of people has reversed. Huanmeng and Du Yuan both knew that Gaochang's defense would definitely not last for half a day.
"Your Majesty Huanmeng, if you kill Du Yuan and surrender, I, Ye Long, promise you to survive and make you the Princess of Cheshi, so that you can enjoy endless glory and wealth." (To be continued...)
